THREE DERELICT TOWERS GREEN, YELLOW, BLUE.
OVERLOOKING A RESTORED MASS GRAVE.
THE TOP FLOORS, EYRIE OF THE BIRDS.
EACH TOWER FIFTEEN FLOORS, THIRTEEN FOR YOU.
EIGHT HOMES PER FLOOR, COMPRISING TWO HALLWAYS OF FOUR
THAT MAKES A TOTAL OF THREE HUNDRED AND TWELVE.
ENTERING EACH ABANDONED HOME WE MAY SEE
BROKEN DOOR, JUNK MAIL, ENTRY PHONE, BROKEN PIPES AND PIGEON SHIT,
AND ALSO MANY TIMES CARPETS, CURTAINS, MIRRORS, BEDS AND MATRESSES
NOT SO MANY BOOKS, AND OF THESE, COLLECTIONS OF MILITARY STUFF.
AND THESE WORKING CLASS FLATS ENJOY GREAT PICTURES AND MURALS.
ENOUGH TO PUT IMELDA MARCOS AND SADDAM HUSSEIN TO SHAME.
AND THE BEDS, OVERFLOWING ASHTRAYS, SYRINGE HELL OR NEEDLE PARADISE.
THESE BEDS MAKE TRACY EMIN AND THE SAATCHI GALLERY LOOK TAME.

SO MANY ABANDONED BELONGINGS
WHY WERE THE PEOPLE FORCED TO FLEE ?
RIOTS, EARTHQUAKE, FIRE, FLOODS, OR EPIDEMIC,
A MIASMA OF LIES AND DECEPTION, THAT'S THE GAME.
