Sea upon the sea

When the foggy tides  
surge upon the land,  
filling in the spaces  
of the grey-bricked cities  
and the meadows of green,  
and the anodyne hills,  
pluming everywhere like smoke  
from a Great Father's pipe...

Then it seems like  
a sea upon the sea,  
with buoys that flash red  
where the skyscrapers dreamed;  
and perhaps a poet or two  
watching from his fog beach  
musing at the millions  
who've become fish, unawares.
