Ramp Ramp up - still Under pavements And concrete roofs, Beams of lead, Mortar, spaces open, Ramps leading up, Speed-bumps, graffiti Straining under layers of Stairwells, asbestos, Cold, sickness, hunger, Tears, bitter chill, hot Blankets, sogging, filthy, Ramps ascending through Exhaust fumes and tar and Blood and sweat and smoke and
The top. Cold. Overlooking the vile city In all its putrid splendor. A dream swirls in the blackness, Then dies.
