Remember as a child, how you'd paint
this place?

- A slice of blue,
a dandelion sun,
and always,
four gigantic, black spoked wheels -

- A slice of green,
a square house,
a chimney, with a pig's tail
of smoke,
and always,
lots of smiling Lowry-like people -

Now, the spoked wheels have seized,
and the dandelion sun has fallen from its stalk,
leaving many Lowry-like people here to flounder
-like parentless infants upon piss-soaked beds-

This is very interesting, very vivid, but I am not entirely sure what the meaning is.

Hmm, this poem is interesting. It's rather difficult to interpret the direct meaning, but I think its main purpose is to desribe how life is incredibly simple as a child, but as you grow up things become far more complicated and you discover the dark things in life. At least, that's my initial interpretation. Your descriptions of the painted place are very detailed and give the reader a nice image of the painting. I especially like the lines "a slice of blue" and "a slice of green". They are good pieces of imagery and tie the two descriptions together.

Thank you Phoenix and your interpretation is most interesting.
