    A Bridge Too Far

    There is a bridge too far.
    It crosses, brave, a watercourse;
    a steel structure, strong,
    unmoving though the years be long.

    Too far, this bridge, to cross
    on foot or even bicycle;
    one must take a train,
    or cars are fine, but so mundane.

    So far, this bridge, it holds,
    kept in place by pile caps
    and beams of iron deep,
    rooted where the fishes sleep.

    But bridges, someday, rust.
    Sadly, too, for on that side
    is love. So I must cross,
    or all will be regret and loss.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
