Aren't we all just little bridges <br />shaking in bad weather <br />undulating in worse <br />staying still straight in the calm <br />maybe shining in the sun <br />holding onto one shore <br />stretching out to the next <br /> <br />walked on <br />carrying <br />floating over <br />ducks fish water <br />opening straining breaking apart <br />to let boats and ships and fishermen <br />pass underneath <br />crumbling <br />paved reconstructed <br />through decades centuries <br /> <br />always spreading between two banks <br />that for whatever reason <br />want to be linked.<br /><br />Zoe Schwab<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wish-i-were-a-bridge-that-stretched-across-the-atlantic/
