Grey men in dark blue watch from dim corners with slim hopes and cardboard signs.

Both set a scene and emotions. I really like the second one.

Thanks, everyone! I'm glad you like them.
Paisley - even I was wearing gloves at night on the weekend! But not a hat.
Jo - the phrase "grey men in dark blue" came to me while we were walking one day and I couldn't wait to write it down so I wouldn't lose it.
Both very vivid, Very good.
