News at Eleven: In Civil Engineer, the steady rhyme scheme

mirrors disaster as seen through the lens of a by-the-book engineer:

A dense mist grips the mangled girders, a body bag or shroud
for the protruding beams, angled in unlikely shapes that crowd
into the water, pursuing the drowned
heart of the bridge. Efficiency our motto in engineering. No acting, nothing clowned.

Regionally, and for others interested in the event itself, Falsework [by Gary Geddes] is a very important artistic document--half creative product, half official narrative--and should be bought for every shelf in Vancouver.
