Yesterday evening down in Salford Quays
Pizza Express and Café Rouge were full
The rain crashed and bounced as popular plays
Drew crowds in, many a young and old girl
Milling around the Lowry in a whirl
Knocking my coffee cup as they passed by
Obliviously discussing, the thrill
Of watching Othello or Macbeth die
Reanimating the old ones, the high
Of being young itself enough for these
Groups of schoolgirls. Meanwhile, upstairs, the cool
Room revealed spinning dancers, multiplied
By many mirrors. Outside, rain and breeze
Rippled reflected lights in the Irwell
