This Isn't About Cat Feet

When I see fog moving inland
         over Pedro Point, a hill
south of Rockaway Beach,
         reaching misty vines
through eucalyptus leaves
         to blanket that wealth
climbing up slope,
         I think of immigrants,
not from northern Europe.

An Asian woman with bleached hair,
         using a pedestrian crosswalk
in front of my car glares
         at me, at my camera,
focused on that fog,
         but captures my image
in disfigured perception.
