Two bottle necks meeting at the
same intersection in Mallow.
At least, the river has sense

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

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!
