The new bridge near 6th of October City will open next month, they say. They’ve painted the railings gold, like that makes it safe. I’ve seen the soil reports—foundation wasn't meant to hold that load, not with the water table dropping this fast. They rushed it for a ribbon-cutting, same as always. My brother used to work for the contractor; he doesn’t anymore, not since he asked too many questions. You can admire the view from a distance, I suppose. From here, all I see is where the cracks will start.
