FUCKTOWNS !

black alert 
portacabin 
hospitals 

process
fallout
from

poundland 
fucktowns 
of 
arson lowrises
and 
alley attacks
and
barcadi girl fights  
built on

bargain rubble
of

loved and left 
allotment gardens 
and 
post war 
retirement bungalows

of
crawling trellis

and

cobweb benches

and 

singing wind-chimes 
the 
grandkids made
from
school
string
and
lunch meat
tin

and
even
the
macdonalds and kfc's leave

REMINDED

dont remember much about
my
trips
to
holland

canals
untipped waitresses
the room opposite the clock tower

but
the
houses
over by the park
look
dutch to me
in
the
tall slant
of
their roofs

like the allotments cowering under the tall cranes
with
their
rotting
ground fruit
and 
askew water butts
rusting and brown
remind
me
of 
a 
war
i wasnt in
