railroad bridge
"then take
some
*******
shoes."
gucci, prada
chanel, vuitton
walmart, target
overstock stores
there's tar
stuck to the bottoms
of my feet
and the blister burns
are forming
shaking
the bridge is not
shaking
not shaking
don't look down
don't look down
look down
look down
you have to
look down
murky green
whitecaps
"how fast
can you walk?"
how fast
can i
push you
over the edge?
and of course
the asphalt's fresh
so fresh in fact
the trucks are still rumbling by
why would you walk
a railroad bridge
unless you wanted
to jump
or you wanted to
wait as you felt every
last vibration before
death?
i hate
everything
everyone
and that may sound
ridiculous but
hating
is easier than
honesty
tar
get the
tar off
me
toes sticking
pulling against
the splintered
metal
i should have taken
some
*******
shoes.
