Mississippi Crossing
Mississippi crossing:
Two lanes too narrow
for one wide-eyed driver,
mesmerized by rolling hills,
autumn-kissed trees, a bridge of steel,
and millions of waters rolling
gently, quietly, lazily down, down, down,
losing their blues and turning brown
just past that gateway town
then tinting red, for Memphis
heading down, down, down.
It is a peaceful pass between
“Show me” and “I’ll show you” –
a picture-perfect scene,
this Mississippi crossing.
