there are few
monuments in this
ideal city
this gilded village
this bush retreat
of graphite roads
through paper parks
a drawing board
come almost to life
exciting
as voting
a revolution
safe in bed
socialism and
drains
now only drains
a plumber’s
paradise
a developer’s
dreamscape
a thousand suburbs
caged in ennui
monument itself
to the defeat of
idealism
