Ugly white tower

In Munich coming out of the U bahn,

past the notice about the Putsch,

a magnificent sheathed building appeared.

On the white  coverall an elaborate printed design so

passersbuy might see the final construction

the architecture already inspiring.

Lloyd’s Bank, Penzance has looked shabby and  shrouded for weeks.

The overall possibly reminding

pedestrians of the Bibby Stockholm.

Game On meets Auntie May in the advertising.

Rather a “temple” of Mammon, a monument to cut price aesthetics

and ponder the paradox.  

Has anything been learnt in one   hundred and one years.
