Ordinary
pain
which
simple
weather
can
dispel
All
flesh
is
grass
They
do
not
care.
Slop-
desensitised
A
hundred
agonies in
black
and white
The
readers
eyeballs
prick
with
tears
between the
bath
and
pre
lunch
beers
A
half
formed
ghost
His
he-
guilt
He has a
job
to
do
Do what
someone
must
A
priest
preparing to
intone
a
Mass
Regular
repeated
stanzas
(6lines long) to emphasise the continuous vicious cycle of the job
Each stanza ends in a rhyming couplet-
ABBCDD
rhyme scheme: consistent: war photographer lacks power to change anything because it is his
job
War photographer
vs
remains
