The cloud-to-cloud flash of a summer storm
Chariots off to the west; beyond the Taunus
I can see paleness of sky -just?
Bangladesh flooded again, metallers in eastern strikes hoist themselves, ignored by the west.
Tacos tonight - no swimming in this storm (of?)
Flash. Moslems' safe paper havens - as much use as a bicycle for a fish, the Germans would say.
Flash. The world turns on (flash) and the Serbs defy.
Big flash. Marcel's flying home in this storm. I'm going to Rügen. Time is up on this course. Let's move on.
Yeltsin pays respects to a policeman - not Warrington for this head of state.
A lucky pig - literally - determines my impression. It's still raining, Germany. They can't go home - this is their home.

(C) Philip Ralph Johnston
7 May 1993 18:00 In a summer storm. I've been shopping.
