Memories of
misty days of the two of us -
in a surreal - real -
lovers trance.
This couple walked in the park -
balloon shaped vibrant
green trees glowing
through the haze.
This couple sat and laughed
on the bench
in the park
when every day was dreamy.

Now it is hottter than last year
for this May day.
Smog warnings abound
and the taste and smell of pollution
travels heavy throughout the city.
There is no marvelous mirage
of hopeful love here.
The mists of yesterday
have morphed into
the heavy smoggy haze of today
as we disintigrate as a couple and
each of us move
alone
into the heavy heat.
