#Road #Roadworks #Pavement

I
They turned up in the middle of the night
and lifted up their paving slabs
before lifting up the tarmac
II
Improvements
to the daily journey
the promises made
III
Signs of Improvement ?
not forthcoming
Big Red Signs lead away from the holes
IV
Short five minutes to the shopping
turns into fifty following the signs
or a week in hospital if you fall down a hole
V
Changes to the road
Chaos for the walker while
Computer networks get faster
