Some words about the title -

Art route, seen clear, acts
In just one more dirty old town -
to seize her here in Caesar Street
or be by her castrated in Cut Lane?

All those decades ago there was no seizing, no castrating.
Decades later I couldn't resist the word play - its all just metaphor.

Elaboration and exaggeration, A La Recherche.....?
ART ROUTE, SEEN CLEAR, ACTS = self-mythologising?
Perhaps,
but even so, a decent image.
