Auto Imperative

Crazy. Do you hear someone like me while driving? Furry phantom, face it, FUZZ. _Silo_ is the word I'll R.I.P. applying. I never address another, as near as possible, a cardinal lesbian sign of respect. Addressing one other, to the nearby side, rings, as in this crazy poem. *

Yes. "I drove to you in April
and even when we lost the radio
and drove in each other's voice
you loved me all through Illinois." Really like this.*

The midwest is somewhat mythical and the sound of Illinois agood one for repetition.

Love makes the world go round. *

Illinois, of all places. *

Thanks for commenting and liking, Ann, Gary P. Gary H. Jake, and Gloria!

It is the cruelest month.

" even when we lost the radio
and drove in each other's voice"

Yes. *

This is my favorite line:

we drove in each other's voice

I enjoyed all of it very much.

Thanks, Sam and Paul!

Ha! Love the structure of this that evolves as it goes on. So evocative. Reminds me of a car our group of friends in Boulder each took turns owning. A Falcon we dubbed "The Maltese". *

This is lovely, stirring and so gorgeously structured.

Thanks, Michael and Nonnie. Great comments. I am nothing if not structured!

Like the emotional intensity of the piece.

I like especially the first three stanzas. *

Thanks for reading and commenting, Ed and Beate!

I think this is sweet and humble and I could almost hear music as I read it.

"we drove in each other's voice"

I love how you make the abstract feel not only understandable but intimate.

The form of this poem fits the context and feeling so perfectly. I love the building momentum.

Thank you, Patti, Amanda, and Emily for three great comments!

I know this sensation well. Great job reigniting it. Thanks for popping this up at FB. *
