The fog

she loves her agile mind
and dreads the fog
fervently she favours
blueberries and kefir
and push-ups and planks
and tiny meals

she has a project
and a thousand friends
she dreads the fog

For a minute you thought
like a mythical hippo
that it was Monday.

Eat blueberries.
Yesterday’s treat
is tomorrow’s mythical cure.

He was blessed
by the Holy Farmer—?
How random
and how rural
are our thoughts.
