fair words

-->
The mist moved in after the rain.
The midway silent, the rides empty,
october nightfall escorting in brisk wind--
fair workers look for ways to pass the time
as ink paints the sky.
The camera becomes a thing of interest.
Take my picture? one asks.
Then another.
Can I get a copy if it turns out good?
I want to send it to my mother.
