Fog
I hate driving in fog, but it did prompt this poem so it's not all bad.
Driving in fog
becomes a terrifying exercise
in mindfulness;
all distractions banished
while slipping down a funnel
four cat's eyes long.
Everything ahead and to each side
erased to blank sheets of paper
where anything can be drawn
at a moments notice;
blurry nothingness interrupted
by the halo of oncoming lights,
swishing sounds as each car passes
too close too fast.
