Fog’s illusions


Fog has a way of adding mystery 
 To other people’s lives: 
The structures around them begin to seem 
More sinister, 
 And when we struggle to understand 
It’s easy to mistrust and assume the worst; 
To see reaching out as grasping; 
To see a natural reticence as devious, 
And to misread well-intentioned words 
As insults and assume the worst… 
A search — and wait — for clarity 
 Can help alleviate many misunderstandings.
