February 1990

fog obscures Toronto

making it impossible to see

anything more distant

than that within reach

the towers across the square

formless blocks of grey

even our sun

that brightest, closest star

unseen

known only by a vague

off-white glow

how then

being able to know so little

of that which we see

directly

and even less now

with this obstructing fog

can we presume to know

what God has not revealed
