Brutalist
A Decima Inspired By Preston Bus Station
Introduction
I originate from Preston, and the bus station was built when I started secondary school at Preston Catholic College, so it has been there all my independent life, and I still think it is one of the greatest examples of Brutalist architecture ever.
So I thought I should write a poem, and a Decima should be fine for this.
The music is (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop by The Fatback Band

My Mate Harry Once Said It Had
The Biggest Gutters In The World
Architects Made The Concrete Curl
And It Still Does Not Look Too Bad
So Much So When I'm There, I'm Glad

The Cars Parked Up A Height, Of Course
Sixty Years Still Standing Through Time
Is The Architecture A Crime?
