    Smoke and Mirrors

    Thick smoke
    everywhere tonight
    around town.

    Like walking
    through a smoke screen.

    I was on
    the far north side.

    The air was heavy
    and smoky.

    Then on the South side
    it was worse.

    I'm down
    about midway now.
    Downtown on Broadway
    and it is much better.

    A breeze
    off the river
    may be
    blowing it back from
    me now.

    There's a citywide ban
    on burning out doors.

    So I suspect
    this smoke
    is blowing over
    from Fort Benning again.

    Good slice of life poem, Doc....



    Thanks again for the nod, Rocky.
