In Salome Duffy could be hinting/saying that the modern world is going down hill this theme runs throughout Salome.
References to the Bible - "What was his name? Peter? Simon? Andrew? John?" , "like a lamb to the slaughter"
Hungover from last night can't remember what happened- "dry toast, no butter"
Realisation that she needs to clean up her act - "cut out the booze and the **** and the sex"
No smpathy/ no guilt - "ain't life a *****" - not ashamed of killing someone suggesting that she has done it before like in the first line of the poem- "I'd done it before" Enjambment- run on lines - conversational- sentences quite short - colloquial language(slang) - "booze" "batter".
