3161. (ALL) PILED UP DARK

(ALL) PILED UP DARK
I went through Ealing, Epping,
and Slough, and Bradford and
Spalding too - all that old
Vaudeville circuit, now near
finished and gone, emptied of
clowns, and blackface, and
jesters, and cons. All the old
ballrooms had fallen down, the
tentcamps were gone - all that
were left were the surreptitious
failures of broken windows and
crumbling closets, the dives of
old Devils in Hell, carparks and
fractures and more : just one thing
after another, all piled up dark.
