‘Ambulances’ examines the pervasive sensation of mortality that exists in restricted societies; in cities, in particular, death is ever-present due to the varying ages of the people, the inherent risk of city life, and other things. Even if death is far less prevalent today than it was, say, in the Middle Ages, there is still stigma and terror associated with the subject, which may be what inspired Larkin to examine death in his poems. ‘Ambulances’ follows the journey and meaning of an ambulance as it travels through the city during rush hour.
