Unfinished Bridge

Samer Amin

 

 

 

Placing his hands on the steering wheel, while his head is still in the clouds, he drives.

 

 

 

In his ethereal radio, he listens to his fancy songs.

 

 

 

On a fanciful road lined with basil flowers, a moonstruck driver drives his luxurious car,

 

 

 

down a highway that stretches further and further into his irrational mind.

 

 

 

Not paying even a passing glance to road signs or directions.

 

 

 

The incense rising from his rosy dreams' censer obscures the road signs on his highway.

 

 

 

To any airy fairy dreamlike mentality, warning signs mean nothing,

 

 

 

as long as they believe that their hopes and wishes are the only forces at work in their fantastical worlds.

 

 

 

Their world, which is built on the pillars of their guesswork as well as their incredible creative imagination.

 

 

 

These sensory, visual, and auditory hallucinations, which are frequently dubbed "fantastic imagination."

 

 

 

Still in his luxury car, cruising down a dreamy road paved with his wishful thinking and his ingenious form of escapism.

 

 

 

The fantastic imagination that magically manipulates road warning signs and makes welcome panels out of them.

 

 

 

Despite the large red sign that reads "Unfinished Bridge,"

 

 

 

"Fishing Bridge" was the wishful mind's interpretation.

 

 

 

Despite having been disconnected from reality for a lifetime,

 

 

 

reality never shies away from catching up with those who try to avoid it,

 

 

 

and it always catches up with them in a tragic way.
