Norwich thickened
through history,
enriched by wool traded with Holland,
masonry and church building,
glass angels stained into windows
watched over its
guilds of wealth and power.
Still populated today by towers,
shells of flint and stone, but
Medieval street structures struggle
to accommodate larger people
crowding into larger shops
whose plastic fronts do not mean elastic
just fake, false, shiny show.
