In the artefact of Dreamland, resurrected wooden rides
hope for countless bookings,
though the drunks
still come to the Mechanical Elephant
for their morning well-being.
Buyer beware
cameras with broken meters are displayed
from the last camera shop
We are witnessing the flaming of the sands
that still remembers Mods and Rockers
with a montage of photographs at the train station's entrance
including two girls
tearing each others hair out,
ominously welcomes the expected arrivals
from the four corners of the social,
making this as exciting
as a holiday weekend in Hither Green
without the sea.

Dreamland is a re-opened amusement park in Margate
Mechanical Elephant is a public house and is named after a fairground entertainment.
