What was I thinking on the Brooklyn Bridge,
Leaving behind me the caresses of the past,
above the hustle and bustle of tyres,
I didn't want to break down and held my wheel
Like a treasure,

What was i thinking on the Brooklyn Bridge,
I wasn't thinking of God,

I was watching my road map in the seat,
I was listening to the song of the tyres,
careful not to mislead me.

What I was thinking on the Brooklyn Bridge,
To something insurmountable,
The sour forgetting of Cathy.

Yann, This was Cool, Sad, & Pensive
all at the same time..& takes the reader
to that moment we've all been..at one time
or another.

What "sky" said!  My Brooklyn Bridge was the north-east corner of an aircraft carrier flight deck in Yokohama, Japan . . . reading a Dear John letter.

Turned out if was a boon for the rest of my life!
