each side of the road flanked like a muscular hedge

with men their voices and their broken glass

and the police their riot shields and batons

the girls are screaming the girls are running

the way you usually see people run

from a burning building not suffer the little children

just really make them suffer

each morning the walk beyond the workmen

as they line up to change crouch down as though

they are swimmers and the kerb is the edge

of the ocean slipping off pumps lacing up boots

sometimes it’s jogging bottoms shimmied down

replaced by practical canvas things not clothing

but protection and always already

the high-vis illuminated by their own headlights

and beyond them and beyond the train depot

they service every day where single carriages

lay like dormant cattle behind fences

the stucco of the terraces is cracked
