Too misty, too white. br Fog changes pelicans br Into prows of ships. br Slow, too slow to br Ignite red lights, br Switch gates down. br Listening, windows up... br No engines, no br Crackling radio. br br Easy seagulls perch br Ramshackle wharves, br Eyeing pelicans br Moving pterodactyl-like br In time, in space br Over smooth water br Not jumped by mullet br Or Reds. br br White receding, revealing br No outriggers on far br Horizon bend to br Boudreaux Canal. br A red and white cork br Zig-zags, t.v. blasts br A decongestant ad. br Fog chimneys into the br Air. br The mirror clears.
