Iron and steel and concrete
\nAnd ingenuity
\nAll the right proportions
\nAnd made so generously
\nUp against the climate
\nThe weather and the sea
\nThe wind that howls into the bridge
\nWith such velocity<\/p>\n
The sky its there and closing in
\nThe sea it wants to be
\nThe bridge that we are driving on
\nIt certainly seems to me
\nAble to withstand one hopes
\nThis unmitigated mass
\nOf mist and rain and spray
\nThe bane of those who hit the gas<\/p>\n
Driving really hazardously
\nAs huge waves tip and pour
\nYou feel your car blown sideways
\nNo one can ignore
\nThe dangers that are present
\nThis Atlantic open road
\nWith great brine curtains smashing down
\nSo imagine you might implode<\/p>\n
Cars are truly flimsy these days
\nAnd with the weight one feels
\nYou could be just a dinky car
\nThe pressure just reveals
\nSo much power hitting the bridge
\nEvery single day
\nThank goodness for the engineers
\nWho countered this dismay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
