The Manhattan Bridge Poem by Charles Chaim Wax

The Manhattan Bridge

Rating: 1.0


Rae Zevie
said she was riding
her bike
over the Manhattan Bridge
and a Chinese man
stood by the rail
and eventually jumped.
Rae Zevie
saw him in the water
for a minute
or so
and then
he went under
and drowned.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

We are all witnesses to tramatic events in our lives. They' always stay a part of us, and effect us in ways that are life changing. This perhaps her greatest lesson on sympathy..and later...perhaps empathy. An excellent read. :)
