BANG-BANG-BANG Detonation, the ground rumbled, The building defied gravity, then cracks appeared, It eviscerated, imploded gracefully as a puff On a dandelion, A fearsome, mammoth white dust cloud billowed, The crowd backed off, as the cloud of ghosts climbed Into the now dirt ridden sky, Walls, ceilings, roofs, bricks, mortar, now rubble, History - the old days gone, its replacement modern, In keeping, Out with the old in with the new.
Has the equipment imploded, dematerialised, gone down the loo?
A goal down and with the crowd on their backs they could easily have imploded.
