Before you can blink it grows
And spreads to encircle you
Thick, then thicker, dulling sound
So that cars going by
And children playing across the street
Even barking dogs next door
Make no noise that might alert you
That the fog is rolling off the lake
Like smoke from bonfires set
In a huge circle around town
Only without the fear, no sirens,
Little change in daily routine
And no sooty smell, but mist.
