Looking Over The Bridge (Built In 1936)
by Will Dockery
Freefloating ashes
down slowly to the creek
to the gunky dirty sewer creek.
On a cigarette pack
I write these words
with an ancient pencil
maybe sent down from God
because my pen is lost.
The sky's a murky pea soup
but it will not rain
there is no rain in this town
those were different times.
The city is overcast
by bright grey transluscent shadows
as I ride borther Dave's bike
stop on this bridge for a smoke.
I don't nessesarily want to go
I have to go.
Cigarette butt falls down quickly
with a blur
a swirling flourish
then slowly moves downstream.
What year was this bridge built?
Seems so ancient
I must remember to check the date on it
when I leave it.
-Will Dockery 5-5-99
