Glass Slipper Bridge

A bridge too far This long foot- bridge made of glass over a deep canyon in China, one can walk and look down at the same time but be careful not to fall which is easy when not looking down. When peering into the storm- grid at the shop that sells canned tomato sauce I often see rats using it as a walkway the rodent looks up but feel safe less if I lose my car- keys into it rats are notoriously bad drivers. When the bridge falls down, all bridges do if not dismantled, big shards of glass will hit the ground hard fly up in the air again pulverized and fall down as hailstones that will pierce all living thing except rats in storm drains. Muammar Gadhafi sought refuge in a storm drain when French helicopters shot up his jeep. A rat too big to fit in a drain was lynched by the mob that at the time was our allies.
