cranes and lorries

 cranes and lorries


they dug the slag

with cranes

put it in lorries

down the turns


we dug the dirt

sandy by the load

dinky cranes

dinky lorries

wound our ways


their lorries 

over the weigh bridge

our lorries

over the weighing 

of time before tea time


in retrospect

from the perspective of correlations

we played the history of our time

to the dereliction of childhoods spent

too early 

before our horizons 

had ever been over read
