“. . . We love fog
because it shifts
old anomalies into
the elements
surrounding them.
It gives relief from
a way of seeing”

Poem:
.
the poet bordered on psychosis
inspiration derived by osmosis
his world viewed by anamorphosis
rhymes induced by self hypnosis
the ego seeks deification
dreams of heavenly exaltation
interrupted by bizarre personification
blinded by a frequent transfiguration
to write or not to write
twas never a question
his idea bulb was never that bright
‘why me’ was his favorite expression
and when it was all said and done
the blue ribbon he never won
