Listen to poem:

A Sheen

Jean would go with me
to Exhibitions in halls.
Our passion was factories
in photos a-sheen.

Glossy factories
with no people outside or in,
but gleaming machines
in factories - a sheen.

Tall chimneys,
and sheer entrances.
A weekend, surely, for
machines, they were still.

Jean would go with me,
talking loudly as usual,
but I would say "Hush,
here are factories a-sheen."
