god leaked and you got wet

in the tunnels beneath the city
trains
a doll's pallor
on the faces of those who wait to ride sideways
beneath the arrogance of london

above electricity leaps from earth
to glass enclosed gas
in nuclear bright restaurant windows
and in the shadows of neglect
fear half sleeps

in the red theatre
you glimpse a pierced god
and cry
red face
