so many

crossing natural boundaries
unreal, imaginary but oh so
real-ity to you
and me

interconnecting contacting
differences, divides, chasms, canyons,
lies, complex and barefaced

bridge creatures
steel, rope, tree branch, eroding concrete,
sturdy shaky, securely dangerous,
each a different irony

this poem,
is of one such bridge

you cannot see its picture
on the Internet

only one or few
can cross it,
only one
can pay the
toll, reap beyond belief
so hefty steep,
when paid, garners
transversing permission,
but tourists in groups can
sneak- peak

this poem~bridge connects
the image I see of myself,
first look, awakening brought,
and the inner poet
who word passages across
the rickety rope one for crumbs of truth,
while throwing his secret shames
over the side

let us leave it here
