I’m In a Fairly Grim Mood . . .

I’m in a fairly grim mood today, mostly because of the rampaging juggernaut of idiocy that is today’s Brexit Announcement. Anyway, I found some notes and I have no recollection of writing them. It’s possibly a cut and paste from something I found on the net as inspiration. Anyway, it’s been pulled apart, rewritten and restructured as a poem of sorts.

Sheffield 1982

Dead ‘works, steel themselves,

against callous abandonment,

their last breaths outlining

the brutalism of Hyde Park,

still glowering over the city;

the last sentinels of a failed future.
