Passing blue bin lorries,
Privet and concrete warehouses
On the way to Deal.
Rolling by cranes and sand piles
Calling at Ashford -
Debenhams and Stagecoach buses.
Pink woolly hats and a zipped up coat
Wrap up warm for the seaside
A windy February morning.
Picking up speed past redbrick homes
A monkey puzzle tree and PC World.
Faster and faster until church spires fade
Green fields appear, sheep, ploughed land.
Whiz into a tunnel and rumble out
To a home for electricity, pylons skyhigh -
Shaped like helter-skelters.
