No Longer Hokum

No Longer Hokum

A Poem by DaniElle LaPointe
"

Odometer test strip begins now.....

"

measuring

---------by those painted lines ----------

it is possible

to be

one

with the blur

a sort-of

warp so to speak

the buzz and hum 

jolt of old winter-cracked

pavement

to suffer a

--------light------- year--------like-------- stretch-------

of KILOMETERs

KILL each meter

with the tread of four tires

wanting

wanting

wanting

more than just the blur

gravel flying like ammo

the speed

makes the morse code 

-------- dash ----- dash ----- dash--------

upon the ash(fault) so divisional

and wordless

speedy lines zoom ---

as if to come from a

space craft

firing ------   ------  - -

attacking

galactic and war-like

making it easier to believe that

a cosmic event

a worm hole 

occurred

in a sedan-sized moment

and 1300 kilometers

the blur that bends inside out within the sound of your sigh Fueling this for the

stretch-------

 

           and in your arms

          the proof

 

to look at you

pulled in by your encircling embrace

as if to come out of some

strange

long

confined

cryo-sleep

           

            and in your strong arms

            is all proof

 

planetary alignment 

zodiac musings

black holes                     

warp travel

all shape themselves into truth

seen and soundless

from the crinkled joy of your smiling eyes

shaping themselves into reality

not questionable

no longer hokum not even science guesswork

not to me

no

not anymore

A real trip! You make it seem so easy... You transition from describing a simple event to surprise me with twists of romance and reality. I like that your endings always have a kick. I am envious and ravenous at the same time. Can't wait to eat up your next work. I am putting money on you. Out of all the hokum on this site, I am betting I will be standing in a line, to have you sign my copy of your book one day.

It took a couple of reads to sink in, just cuz of the experimental factor, but I love the scene it paints and the sense of motion inherent in the words and style of the piece. It makes me wanna go on a road trip. Nicely done :)
