Week 2.31: Dynamite was taken at my friend's birthday dinner a few weeks ago. I could say a lot about that fun evening...but what I really want to focus on is my latest poem. Let it say what you want/need it to.
Dynamite
Standing there on the edge of the canyon
Deciding whether or not to build that bridge
Wondering how you found your way
to something so explosive
Feeling the shock of the previous scene
Hoping your next construction succeeds
Wanting a guarantee this is the way
to something so definite
Searching the heart of the current survey
Knowing your past mining affects the new
Waiting for time to show you a way
to something so obvious
