Did he imagine

a bridge of this magnitude

adorned with his name

while he was flying kites

and stashing away pennies

Author's Notes/Comments:

This one was written at a concert at Wiggins Park in Camden, NJ. There is a spectacular view of the Philadelphia skyline across the river and the Ben Franklin Bridge. I took a picture of the bridge near sunset. It inspired this tanka. I don't know how to upload the companion photo so you'll have to settle for just the tanka.
