[bodytext] => Electric Railroad lead me to this place, All the eye perceives is rusting, decaying waste, a snapshot of a moment, a solitary point of view, a skein of metalic bones, threading desolate sunlight through. Over a bridge, across the water as far as the eye can see, scattered bruises litter this earth, emotions buried by disease, blurred thoughts, discordant sounds, chaotic visions never seem to leave, but crumbling chimneys appear serene on the brink of becoming obscene. The stench of petrol, and death's cruel tongue pollute the nausceous air, somewhere beyond the graffiti stained wall lies plessure or despair, rows of tennet houses, distorts an unborn child's stare, a cardboard box a home for a night is just another excuse not to care. But still I see around the edge of this infamous twofold city love and life lingering on gratitude turning to pity. A last goodbye dirt smeared windows, a nod or a wave of the hand crumbling chimneys stand so proud in this cold-hearted mothballed land.
