I-405 North to I-5 South

Over the child river
the bridges come arching like catapults

The cars are fed up in a stream like blood vessels
lanes narrowing the flow
and then thrown into roller coaster summits
high above the sparkling water
in plain view of the skyline

a human-ant colosus of moving cars
the most beautiful kinetic sculpture
enacted by all those passing through
exalted as the centerpiece of the city

Portland--the insect colony of motorists
