Foggy Bottom

Foggy Bottom . . .

and top, full surround, 
without sound.
Socked In, in pilot lingo, 
moving blind, no visible exit;
one choice; move forward.

Headlights barely sliced through
the thick, grey mantle.

Cocooned in quiet death; 
chills rippled backbones,
bumps nippled bare arms.

Ellery Queen's
             sinister villain
                            lurked,
angled beyond our view.
