Lurking around Wandsworth Road, the forefathers of Jack the Ripper
Riding atop an appropriately painted red bus, laughing out loud
Assassins are advertising now, this is the Not-So-Brave New-World

In the background, peaceful buildings that survived the Nazi blitz look as if they just emerged from the ocean of the night,
Soaked by the distant waves of a neon light
Etched by the melancholic genius of Edward Hopper
