FOG
A stroll after the rain of a humid day,
On this path I toddled since naissance.
I knew it well.
It curved and twisted throughout my mind.
And in the heat a mist began to dance.
It had a smell
Moist and pungent. Primordial this perfume.
Miasma shallow, pretending romance.
I knew it well.
Just an ambiance of earthly delight,
An enticing wisp come to entrance,
Like Pavlov’s bell.
It would reward my imagination
If I traveled after its promised chance.
I knew it well.
But a vapor is never grasped and held.
Now a murkiness started its advance,
It began to swell.
I know this twisted path so picturesque.
I won’t get lost but for a moment glance.
I know it well.
But my path of good intent is but smog
And this pleasurable road the entrance
Straight down to Hell.
I know this well.
