  Chesters Roman Fort

Hadrian's Wall bus
A D 122
halts

spills out tourists
herded by tour guides
grazing the officers' quarters
and communal bath houses

WI members cluck
over well preserved hot water pipes

Kids from year 9
flirt like mad
not interested in museum artefacts
only erotic Roman graffiti.
