Meanwhile...
along the high street and also down below
grounded in the subterrain
beneath the iron grating footsteps of the everyday
their Spring-chill lemon sunshine
their affordable shoes
along the high street also down below
maintenance tunnels of the self
an urgent task repair beneaththeir very feet who do not know
at one and the same time
what expert desperation efforts
right below
none of the people here
the overalls and waders
spanners crowbars and handheld lights
handheld unsteadily all over
sloshing through the shite
'Shite' seems somehow euphemistic. Wouldn't 'sewage' be more accurate and less showy?
