Roll words across my tongue as fog trims thence The distance and rain pours in sheer betrayl Down every window, like choice phrases' scale Of what is beats out sheer real'ty hence, How evning culls perspective in a sense: Mists shroud the thought of yonder with a veil, The clustered houses silent as, t'avail I look out on the ghostly naught's pretense. And oh! What do I try for in a poor Attempt which falls upon its face anew? Scroll through pics of stylish ladies' tour Of lux'ry boots, and they'll still call my view, Yes, outfits: "intresting." Mist woo as twere My soul, and violets know my name, else, who?
