FOG

5:08am I set at the computer with eyes wide shut & I think I hear a fog horn so I ask the only person who listens to me on a continuing basic “Do I really hear a fog horn or is that just my misspent young adulthood Concert Ear acting up again??. 5:29am 3 quick cups of coffee l pen the lazy one at half mast I stumble outside………
saturday’s fog, navigation greatly impaired, yes mine 
leaning tree, the fog misshapes you, what can I do

Fair is foul, and foul is fair: 
Hover through the fog and filthy air.
 ~William Shakespeare

Fog and filthy air it may be but it's very atmospheric. I read somewhere that JMW Turner painted his later "impressionist" work because the Industrial Revolution in Britain had begun to pollute the air so much. It really looked like that.
