Remains
Simon Armitage
poet of Remains
"on another occasion" - begins in medias res
- present tense - can't leave the scene - living in a nightmare
"another occasion" -telling multiple stories, not the first time
"on another occasion, we get sent out" line 1
caesura makes the phrase memorable, so it is easy recognised when he refers back to it
- doubting innocence, doubting himself
"probably armed, possibly not." line 4
"legs it" - colloquial, creating the persona of the soldier
- body parts used as verbs - running away - makes the looter more human? more vulnerable?
"and one of them legs it up the road" line 3
