Soon I was lost in a dark America ...

From the outside, the leisure centre reminded me of a pristine hospital - 

I'd sat in the atrium, whilst Tessa and Anne were swimming in the echoing pool - 

I'd half expected to see discrete surgeons murmuring condolences - 

I saw instead personal trainers walking down shining corridors - 

Lean women queued for Pilates classes - 

I opened the latest Stephen King - 

I remembered being terrified by Pet Semetary - 

Soon I was lost in a dark America -
