The jolting skyline, jutted shapes
Reach for the slated skies.
A horizon, a sunset of concrete chaos.
Which path to choose from the "streets in the sky?"
Some may call it grim.
To many this is home
A place invested with dreams.
A dormant eyesore of rabbit holes
or breeding ground for Yorkshire pride?
Bard street, Claywood, Hyde Park and Embassy Court flats
Push chairs rattle on the layered decks above.
Salt of the earth or plagued with scallies?
Dubbed "San Quentin" by its residents within
Security fencing keeps them hemmed in.
A crumbling heritage? Or hindrance to the city?
Level it to the ground or let it stand tall?
Kicked to the curb like a punctured football.
