thank goodness for the poet in you in surviving this commute! :) hi, Shann, so good to see you, layne -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc provides a venue for a dialogue relating to poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Shann Palmer Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 3:24 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [POETRYETC] Snapshot # 3- Richmond, Virginia Huguenot Bridge Commute Close enough to the bridge to smell riverbank peat, feel damp growth lush from last night's rain, the line of cars blinks red-eyed at the early morning traffic jam. A helicopter shadow passes over warning those who come by here to turn and not look back, go to work another way. The lights stretch as far behind as in front inching closer, gears grinding, slow gods not listening to angels. Richmond, Virginia 7:22 AM August 29 Shann Palmer
