UNBURNT BRIDGE
Boring slow movements burning in the wheeler, barely teasing sounds of unzipping ties. Chopped and drilled at slugspeed, smoke signaling suspense. Splitting good wood little rhythmic dip in the domestic sea. Shivers sent down the dark side of my hi vis. Raindrops tickling the crowd on the bridge and this fire is out of control. Were it burnt, were it unburnt were it unburnt. Will they burn this bridge down.
