Language, form and structure

• Long lines perhaps suggest a difficulty finding an end to the confusion and danger after an explosion
• Use of punctuation to represent aspects of war suggests that language is important, but perhaps it has become used as a weapon, instead of people talking together to find peace
• Streets are named after events in warfare, suggesting violence is part of the identity of the city
• Caesura highlights the difficulty the poet has in forming his ideas – this represents his confusion
