The other side of the glass, the other side of the mirror -
On the other side of the mirror where we’re all sitting -
Angus, Oldman, Murphy, McDonald, Ellis, and me -
Looks through the mirror, the Yorkshire Ripper -
And he nods at us -
Noble: ‘Who, Peter? Who?’
The Yorkshire Ripper: ‘Noorjahan Davit.’
On the other side of the glass, the other side of the mirror -
On the other side of the mirror where Ellis is on his feet -
Where I’m thinking -

On the other side of the glass, the other side of the mirror -

And the Yorkshire Ripper -
The Yorkshire Ripper, he nods directly into the mirror -
The mirror, the glass -
The other side of the glass, the other side of the mirror -
On the other side of the mirror where Ellis is going out the door -
Going out the door, shouting -
Shouting at everyone and anyone:
‘Davit, Smith, and Banks – get us them files.’
