they warned us 

it was coming

okay, I thought

this time 

I'll be ready 

so I waited

and watched

and waited

 

but there was no sign of it

 

until 

the moment

I turned my back

and suddenly 

there it was

out of nowhere

back from hiding

who-knows-where

 

and there was I

again agog

cleverly out-witted 

by the cunning fog
