#SmallPoemSunday #CarlSandburg #MargaretAtwood #fog #malaise #poetry

Perhaps the most famous of Sandburg’s poems, and the most famous poem about fog?

My darling when it comes
right down to it
and the light fails and the fog rolls in
and you are trapped in your overturned body

none of us is;
or else we all are

From “The Blind Assassin” by Margaret Atwood #TheBlindAssassin #MargaretAtwood #Apocalypse #Death #EndOfTheWorld #BookQuotes @margaretatwood.bsky.social

But not here; not in this gentle, tedious backwater; not in Port Ticonderoga, despite a druggie or two in the parks, despite the occasional break-in, despite the occasional body found floating around in the eddies. We hunker down here, drinking our bedtime drinks, nibbling our bedtime snacks, peering at the world as if through a secret window, and when we've had enough of it we turn it off. So much for the twentieth century, we say, as we make our way upstairs. But there's a far-off roaring, like a tidal wave racing inshore. Here comes the twenty-first century, sweeping overhead like a spaceship filled with ruthless lizard-eyed aliens or a metal pterodactyl. Sooner or later it will sniff us out, it will tear the roofs off our flimsy little burrows with its iron claws, and then we will be just as naked and shivering and starving and diseased and hopeless as the rest.
Excuse this digression. At my age you indulge in these apocalyptic visions. You say, The end of the world is at hand. You
