ROAD CONSTRUCTION
ROAD CONSTRUCTION
Interstate
lumbering along through the mountains
one giant St. Bernard of a highway
dragging, sometimes limping up,
over, and in between
frigid mountains
and not so frigid
beautiful valleys of wild flowers
each craning to be taller than all around it
Interstate taking it all in
all in stride
till abruptly stopped in it’s meandering
by orange vested
crews teaming and toiling
in clustered enclaves of fervent, sweating,
construction;
repairing, reworking, and sometimes
relocating curves,
bridges,
individual lanes,
widening, narrowing,
with orange lights blinking,
reigning in,
big Bernard,
even though only
temporarily
