A Poem – The Fog Was Thick

I wanted to write today. About a picture of a dock engulfed in fog.
The fog was thick.

How’s that. fuckers.
My drink is nice. It’s a mixture of ice and booze.
The booze being Gin. Which isn’t my first choice.
it’s what I had

The dock photo isn’t a great photo
it’s OK
I want to give it away

Outside my window there are trees
Beyond those trees, a rich man lives
he built a house for his son

Today there was a violent fight
between a young man and young woman

i think she won

now though the fan is cooling the air
and I’m enjoying my drink

Please, use this photo. However you’d like. I took it.  It’s OK, but not great.

Thought Drop

Sometimes it only takes one lonely road, ice covered tree branch, or snow covered hill to reset. Just, reset. It’s fine and it’ll be fine.

It Hides Itself with Seasons – New England

It’s crisp with crunching leaves then humid with summer nights.  Its snow is deep and winters long with flowers growing wild in the spring.  It hides itself with seasons.  New England.  -M. Taggart
