A response to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fflo's poetry prompt "Come in, or the fog will get into the house" response (with little quality control)
Come in, or the fog will get into the house.
We just want you and your sun-bright smile.
See here, where the paper covers this big screen?
It's sealed off: no miasma enters this way.
Would you like a drink -- coffee, tea, Red Bull?
We keep it going here, everyone alert.
That drift of shavings?
Our pencils all are sharp.
A scent of ammonia?
Every window is crystal clear.
The humming sound?
A HEPA filter in every room.
Out there, out there, that fog,
the confusion, the contention,
the lies, the denial. Leave it.
In here we clean and polish,
clean and polish,
clean and polish,
clean and polish.

gliding over featureless clouds
it seems less urgent but
during turbulence at take off
i wanted to make sure you know
where my life insurance is
-- from my flight on April 2nd, leaving Denver

One hundred years of solitude,
Hotel at the corner of bitter and sweet,
Finding meaning in the second half of life,
Cold noses at the pearly gates.
The prince of providence --
The whole truth --
The ultimate gift:
City of ashes.

Dawn brings a tide of traffic.
The rushing roar rises and falls
with a manic pace. Inside,
i breathe in and out,
with ease,
and your head is
resting on my heart.
--==∞==--
Autumn equinox is yet a few days off, but i have the autumn blend in the pot. (Plus oolong: i'm trying to drink through the bags and tins of accumulated oolong.)
--==∞==--
Today i am supposed to consider Friends & Family. I wonder if i should ship something to my father's freedom (aka retirement) party. Nothing comes to mind. Contacting family.... Here's a question: do i want to make simple little Halloween cards from a repurposed book and some blank cards i have and send them off to to my long-time corresponding friends (with whom i rarely correspond, anymore). I don't know what i'd say. But making the simple cards seems like an good creative thing! [Review birthdays approaching] And there are birthdays to post off.
What do i want say to friends on their birthday, whom i've not corresponded with in a while?
Meanwhile, i think i will ignore, as usual, my girl cousin's daughter's birthdays. I've heard nothing from my girl cousin over the decade and wonder if, there is residue of Christine and I coming out acting as a barrier there.

Wet Monday morning
In heavy commute traffic.
Rainbows in the spray.
