The bridge remembers what we forget
Just stood on the old viaduct at dusk, watching the light bleed out between the girders. Not inspecting—just listening. The steel’s been humming for decades, and today it sounded like a slow exhale. I used to panic over thermal expansion cracks; now I think they’re just the structure breathing. Funny how you stop trying to fix things when you finally hear them speak.

I used to play a record at 2am just before the shift ended—same one every time. The needle would skip on the last groove, like the song was trying to say something it couldn’t. I never fixed it. Let it stay broken. That’s when the real listening started.
