Modern life
- reinforced concrete standards
- cream-grey, rough-cast
- been there since the War
Exposed parts
- steel forged in Sheffield
Corby or Ravenscraig
- machined and fitted
- tightened down on Whitworth threads
Hot, dirty and harsh
- but none the worse for it
- bread on the table
- a job at the end of the day
Community and meaning
- tie your boots come morning
- bike to the depot, sign in
- and no one to take it away
