The Bridge At The End Of The World
By Bess Winter

Today I walked to
the bridge at the end
of the world.
It took 20 minutes
or so.
The bridge is crumbling.
It has no
middle.
I sat on the edge.
It's at the end
of an abandoned
highway exit
leading towards
Nova Scotia.
There are just
two pillars,
and a bit of a
stretch of pavement,
and then the whole
thing
breaks
off.

You can jump
off of it
into icy cold
Fundy water.


But I sat there
on the edge
of the bridge at the end
of the world,
alone
with my little notebook,
dangling my legs,
boots covered
in groddy
red
highway
mud.

Bess Kosinec paid the toll.
