This Fog


i feel like this fog

hard to distinguish one thought from the next

my breath from a cloud bank

that settled down here

maybe early this morning... maybe 1807

when the ground never knew of such curious mechanisms

that connect us together... that drive me insane


i feel like this fog

dense as a mountain

formed by the ocean up over my head

that got lost somewhere... if i weren’t lost, i’d tell you

i’ve been given a number... i’m waiting in line


i feel like this fog

with one swift wind blowing

i’d be halfway to Newfoundland... almost to Japan

almost to Japan... but where is your hand?

where is your hand?

i feel like i held it... like holding a memory

i can’t understand because it never quite happened
