I have a new culture
Of setting up estates
Made up of derelict structures
They always turn out as mistakes

You'll find one near the bridge

A symbol of having worn the crown

My estates are without drainages
Electricity? ..Please tell another story
Garbage has never seen haulage
because the buildings are in this category

The prose is over
My new culture has defied prose...
