Patches of rail lines overgrown in woods
signal decaying Victorian heritage
time reversed, universal equality
not quite grasped before withdrawn
democracy in coitus interruptus
equal regeneration touched recedes
throw away cars on an iron ribbon
dual carriageways of tarmacadam
bands which tie us to greasy wars
whilst tramways of steel gently oxidise
washed in verdant green to rusty orange
or slumber beneath slugs of traffic jams
bodies draped in national flags
spirited quietly from silent battlefields
where black gold throbs beneath the sands.
