PART ONE
SKETCH
After the war
Prefabricated houses
were built up
then knocked down,
Now waste ground.
Behind a factory
A railway line; behind
The railway line a pond.
A fence between
The waste ground and the factory,
A second between
The factory and the railway line.
Gaps in the fences,
Where iron railings
Have not been replaced.
A row of garages.
In school grounds,
A copse of unkempt trees.
Near the school
A row of shops,
Beside the shops
A bedraggled park.
Dogs walk themselves.
FRETS CREATIVE 
Fantastic.
