DEAD PALACE

  the council 
  almost 
  got it right -

locals didnt want
the swimming pool 
torn down
for a 
supermarket chain

  but
the swimming pool 
was torn down
and the 
supermarket chain
built its 
steel and glass

  and then
  duh 
  of course
the council stopped 
the supermarket chain
moving in there

so the palace sits empty

dead

and wind flown seagulls
eating market throwaways
rest
on
its
stillborn steel
and
shit
down
its
new glass
