#hd - Hello Poetry

O fog, shrouding the busy highways softly muting their resonant roar to distant growls Unfurl your smooth fury, crumple these cars, shatter their frames across and beyond their concrete tracks that separate forests and hills and thicken the air with acrid smells from exhausted horsepowers. Embrace them, O fog, and guide their screeching tires over the embankment roaring hearses unreigned by your moist arms * * * &) Discovered recently among H. D.´s unpublished papers at Yale University Library, malevolent scholars take this poem as proof for the poet´s befogged imagination during some of her post-imagist periods. More englightened critics, though, point to the stunning topicality of H. D.´s mythopoetic mind in its accurate presentation of mankind´s archetypal struggle against nature. There is as yet insufficient biographical evidence that the mature H. D. possibly had a short but intensive attachment to the infant Ralph Nader, who later became head of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. – For serious information on the poet, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.D.

If we could PVR our lives, We'd pause at moments Of delight; Rewind when memory's Not quite right; Fast forward during Times of strife; Hit mute if we get too loud, Reboot when we act too proud. I've moments like A satelite stream Of unseen waves Directing themes In 3D pixels, And onetime dreams.

In My Pixelled Life

If we could PVR our lives, We'd pause at moments Of delight; Rewind when memory's Not quite right; Fast forward during Times of strife; Hit mute if we get too loud, Reboot when we act too proud. I've moments like A satelite stream Of unseen waves Directing themes In 3D pixels, And onetime dreams.
