At first I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then the news “What does a poet and a bridge have in common?” published on Greek internet. A blog revealed that a poet has been hired as consultant for the construction of a pedestrians/school children bridge over one of the main roads of Athens, Kifisias street. There is a obvious question as to how a poetic talent can be useful for the construction building of a bridge.
Poetry is, of course, a creative talent – In Greek one would use the same word for ‘constructive’ and ‘creative’. However I think it would make more sense to hire a Yoga Master, trained in perfect bridge posture…
Yoge Posture: Bridge
As the claims have not been dismissed until now, I assume, there will be a poem hanging over the bridge when it’s ready…
By the way, as the bridge is funding privately, why should we care? We don’t care, we just wonder…

maybe they are jealous of the bridge of arta, which has a whole song to its name. they hire a poet to make a song to make it famous too. any other ideas out there?
hugh! Bingo!!!!
