Viaduct (May)



The original East-West Link lays down the Victorians’ Industrial Revolutionary iron law: more trains. Bone-crunching trains. Window-pressing river-glittering trains. March April May June July August silver trains. Irrefutable irreversible irreducible earful ironbridge trains. 7.04 8.30 9.41 11.01 12.12 1.50 3.19 5.50 6.10 mulberry-brown trains. On the level, over the water, in the air, lurching gains. Banana Alley Old Customs House Turning Basin Aquarium Waterside Workers Fish Market blue-and-yellow strains. Smoke, steam, coal, oil, smashed glass, metal, burn stains. Laverton Craigieburn Dandenong Eltham aims. Hard day, work day, diary day appointments, claims, shames, blames. Flames, lanes, cranes, drains, mains, pains, brains.
