Fog Life
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.
Life is but a toy that swings on a bright gold chain
Ticking for a little while
To amuse a fascinated infant,
Until the keeper, a very old man,
Becomes tired of the game
And lets the watch run down.
by Carl Sandburg
