confluence
and other days
I'm just a drawbridge
spanning disparate shores
there I am
quietly supporting
a sunny, hot commute
when along comes some
tall ship
headed out for sea
like a blind explorer/leper
out to prove the world is round
or some such nonsense
so traffic has to stop
while I break my head in two
and tip
to avoid giving Olaff
in the crow's nest
an I-beam facial
