Washington Bridge

Trip Shakespeare

Red metal archway, the Washington Bridge,

Made rings in the water.

Rings in the water underneath a white sky

Made a cuckold a widow



I'm coming down now

To the red north water

Who is with me?

When I drove the rambler, I came to the bridge

With a special knowledge.

I had the special knowledge of a silver tongue

Way down in the river.



A man time-torn

Hates getting born

Too far north.
