Two bottle necks meeting at the
same intersection in Mallow.

At least, the river has sense
enough to flow one direction,

Cork Council has no jurisdiction
over that, Heaven forbid!

One would assume that evolution
is not in evidence, therefore, familiarity

might be contributing to the illusion
of nothing's changed, so why alter it.

Ant tracks are the closest analogy one
could use as a visual example, or simile.

En passant traffic, pausing periodically
proximate, for a petit tete a tete, en route.

Mallow Bridge is a meeting place, where
people come to pass the time, literally.

Unfortunately, The Blackwater view is
obstructed, by imposing granite walls.

What if, we rallied for rails, those red lights
would no longer command our attention!
