Honorable Mention
Disguises of a Father and Son
Steve Williams

I imagine him bent over a topographical map
moving plastic symbols with a sterile pointer.

He is my hooded major-general.
Under judicial robes, he wears soldier boots.

I’m wearing sandals, his size, but those boots
are carved for my sister’s feet.

I engineer dream bridges on construction paper
not sure, nor caring, who is winning.

He sees a bridge as steel and asphalt asset.
I hope it avoids the demolition squad.

When I left, I took my piece off his map
and twisted it into earth with my heretic shoe.
