Bridge Musings

By Diane Webster

--

I want to be an old wooden bridge

with slats missing, broken in dangling

pairs in mid-air dive suspension.

 

I want to creak or crack warnings

that never materialize

or maybe they might.

Creaks and cracks tickle my joy.

 

I might sacrifice a slat

to test a hiker’s reactions.

Oh, crap! They hung on.

Whoo hoo! You’re gone.

Bye, bye. It’s never my fault.

 

I’m an old wooden bridge;

I can do what I want!
