Dense Fog

a wall of dense fog
covers the morning as
heat and cold combine,
leaving us spectators to
bask in cool silence as
vehicles drive by in-
noticed except for the
sounds of their tires
on the day's wet floors;

a wall of dense fog
prevents my neighbors
from judging me as
they have done so
many days before,
watching as if to see
a crime perpetrated
right before their eyes;

a wall of dense fog
hide my inner most
thoughts from myself
and others as I write
down new ones that
have no meaning.
