Now that the tube map is back up…

Elephant & Castle [22]

These gallons are reaching

their limit, high-

shelving in the

circular rain.

The quays all point

one way, back

in toward the

snapped-to chain.

Tottering won’t be

here for long, if

you call that would.

More damp, more

clapping high-hat

lampreys waiting

in that three-ring cross

tell us nothing but

what’s nationally known:

pick two, pick three

and let the barker’s low-

rent dollhouse winch

in some eastern lane.
