For every black cloud

Black Cloud 
The sky frames this backdrop 
Footsteps - always moving - but never in the right direction 
Bang Bang 
What is that?! 
Stay Away! 
Can't you see?! 

Vroom Vroom 
The diesel engines cries and chuck, chuck and spat and spat on the footway nearby 
Pop Pop 
Children laughing and skipping - Imagination so vivid and so tangible. You could almost kiss it. 

Kick Kick 
Just let me in 
I am not angry anymore. I promise. 

Dump Dump 
Bin bags - oh the bin bags - how high they do rise 
Umbrella - It's raining - tears down your face 
Makeup is now ruined and it is spoiling the line of your brand new jacket
