White Horses (couldn't drag me away)

An alien indent descends.
Stretching nourished earth to its gangly conclusion:
Chalk is the bare cheek of hillsides, crumbling purity
Which needs attending and ain't that old anyway
1999 was no time for horsing around
Aardvark petulance seems displayed
Why the long face? Old jokes of course
Lost on Leucippotomists still artists they say
Concrete Philistia I say.
Chalk me down for lost upon the pavements
I once trod
Antiquarians chalk me down.
