Crossing the Sea (Edit #1)
#1
Your river is cold
and it slowly divides the land.

This bridge is strong
and built to last -
I can't tear it down.

I cross the currents,
walk above whirling eddies,
and on the other side - I freeze.

Here, I have crossed the deepest seas.
You have not.

its currents meander like
a slithering cobra.

not you.
If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
