in the corner of my living room

David Bjorling
In the corner of my living room
sits, unnoticed,
a hunk of metal, replaced after forty years
of being used and seen by millions daily.

A part of history.
now just as useless
as a faded picture at a yard sale.

It reminds me, though, of home
and part of the grandeur
this tchotchke played
in the everyday life
of everyday people.
​
It’s just a four inch piece of metal.
Just one piece of the five hundred
metal ropes that held up
the Golden Gate Bridge.
No longer the longest
suspension bridge in the world.
