Before The Bridge

Before the bridge,
crossing
amber time, held
preserved, perceived
blinking caution - pause:
waiting at the bridge
imponderable memories,
life as memories - paused;
life as the utilization,
choices crossing;
bridge, gap
time, delay;
choice is the utilization,
fruitilization,
sum of the accidental.
Within memories' choices
pause, stop, select,
step, go:
hesitating step,
go, stop, pause - go
with the blinking amber;
lights slide into motion,
commotion of lights - glide
alternating with steps,
hesitating - echoes -
time gap
beneath tower base
and rising steel,
curving
cables and silent emotion..


Memories glide, slide,
a hesitation,
a visitation-
bridge gap
a time delay;
start with a stutter-step:
initiate a control,
colors - spinning
beyond control - cascading
life as memories' choices -
no choice -
before the bridge,
alternating before, between
blinking choices and lights
and amber warnings.

Waiting, stopped, go,
pause, stop, - select:
disseminate?
discriminate?
there is no choice
but choices;
time play
time delay
life is the living
memories going, giving
and the accidental;
start the motion - emotion -
take the step
stutter step
stutter... and... step.
