Moore Street substation
A colossal brutalist monument
In the style of the social housing of the era
Nobody lives here
Unlike brutalist housing now beloved of the hip, the chic
Kelvin, Park Hill, Hyde Park*
I knew those from them all
Buzzing, vibrant
But not from here
Nobody lives here
Beloved of the hip, the chic
You won't get in
Not a hum
Fulfilling its purpose
No snap, no crackle
No doorway unoccupied
Power transformed
More or less
In whose favour
