You (affectionately) mock my admiration
for certain stylish bridges
from the whimsical to the brutalist
Consider: The Bridge as a Symbol of Internal Integration
Riga, Latvia had a succession of beauties which
sent me into rhapsodies you found bewildering
Vientiane where I lost my mind on the giddy crossing
as you nearly lost your footing
Consider: the irrational third element resolving
an unconscious tension between opposing forces
Gazing along the Thames from certain vantage points
may be a minor healing process, a
grouping of history and memory
Consider: jumping off one - no
let us not be flippant, let us recall
connections we have made, and bridges
we have traversed
From Salford to the Florida Keys
the accidental glories of my travels
from Newcastle to Nashville, groping
blindly in search of
the transcendent function
