experiences appear okay so maybe there
are just a few clouds but they tend not
to bother us or distract us too much

the sky sometimes it might be the dark
and stormy variety occasionally we might
even begin to wonder if a hurricane's on
the way it gets to the point that it's
hard to think of anything else
