Not all bridges are made of wood,
you tell me,
when I ask you why you have not yet
set fire to the pathway
that connects us
Some of the ugliest structures
are the ones that last the longest-
the ones where you can see the insides
and there is no masking
the wear and tear
of years of rain and wind and snow
Eventually,
those structures become landmarks,
pieces of importance
I realize that our structure
is by far, the ugliest,
and I hate it every time I see it
but I will not remove it
