'V' describes the author's visit to his parents' grave in a Leeds cemetery "now littered with beer cans and vandalised by obscene graffiti". The cemetery in question is Holbeck cemetery in the Beeston area of Leeds which overlooks the Elland Road football ground, close to where Harrison grew up. The poem gives description of the graffiti on the grave, and pays particular notice to the use of the word united, exploring its ambiguous meaning, be it that of a football club or a feeling of unity. Incidentally the word 'united' is very rarely used in Leeds, when referring to Leeds United, the initials 'LUFC' are more commonly used."
