The stuff of the heart. There is a holiness to this writing that I love. Evident, as you say Andrew, in the lines about the genuflecting road. How perfect is that?

Perhaps we have discovered a new phobia: autophobia. And now the world has caught up to you.<br /><br />The descriptions in this poem are fascinating and the way he chooses his line breaks.

I like your commentary as well -- how you admit to your stand against cars, which is interesting juxtaposed with the admiration and nostalgia of some of these descriptions.
