The Bridge
by Bill Ross (Bill's bio)

I
My love
I think our talk bridge
Would work so much better
If we drew a yellow line
Down the middle
So we could safely cross
In each direction

II
My love
I think we need a bridge
Made of Rosetta Stones

III
My love
I couldn't see your side
Until I reached
The middle
Of this arched bridge

IV
My love
Now that I've crossed to you
And look back
At the path to my side I see why
You were loath to cross to me

V (The Question of Commuter Love)
Is our love
Ever a single shared island?
Or will it always be
Two islands and a bridge?

VI
This bridge is quite amazing
Having endured the Chicago fire
Where it was burned
Beyond all recognition
