THE ALGONQUIN BRIDGE
Poem by Benjamin Hackman

I was biking down the Algonquin Bridge real fast on my way to the ferry in a fancy white scarf and I turned quick to pass an old man with a dog and the wood on the bridge was real slippery from the morning dew and when I leaned in to turn my wheels slid out from under me and I slid the rest of the way down the bridge on my side and I had that feeling in my head like when this is over am I gonna get back up and how bad is this all gonna hurt but I got up right away thank God and my scarf was still fancy and white and I wasn't spooked or nothing at all like that in fact all I could think about was catching that goddamn ferry and the old man said real matter of fact You were biking too fast and I said I was trying to catch the ferry and he gave me a look as if to say you're a slave to bad faith and your decisions reflect that young man and when the hell you gonna wake up and realize there's more to life than crossing bridges fast and catching ferries and I thought this old prick can't judge me and I rode to the ferry and made it just on time and sat down next to Erin and we talked about work and later on my backside hurt real bad and felt bruised and I couldn't sit down without a cushion but the truth is I didn't mind cuz I kinda like how purple it all got hell it reminds me I'm alive and sitting down is a choice it's my choice goddamn it even if it hurts and you know what I hate to say it but that old man was probably right I mean I was going too fast and I'm always going too fast but sometimes you gotta go too fast in order to fall over on The Algonquin Bridge.
