We can\'t - or can\'t always - and we shouldn\'t really - write our poems to \'fit in\' with what we may feel will be acceptable to others. We certainly won\'t please all the people all of the time, as the saying goes.
At times, I feel I may write as if to suit others, but then sense I am being \'un-original\' and think \'That\'s not what I really wanted to write\' - certain line(s) or stanza(s).
An aside maybe - I rarely get the meanings of cryptic-themed poems! If I get too cryptic, I dunno what I\'m on about (no change there then? lol).

\"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.\"(Prov 18:21) Are there truly any inconsequential words? Is that not the reason our consciences torture us internally over this speech or that? Gorgeously rendered with excellent imagery and a keenly haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

A very interesting and quite powerful write, first i think people can be to worried about what they write and how those words come across and then over analyze the words in response, and after all are probably no wiser. Secondly in person words are very powerful if you can see and hear them being said, then you can judge how they were meant to be recieved for good or bad, enjoyed the read

I obsess over words that I read and write wondering how others will take them or how I should have taken them usually to no avail. A wonderful read for poets

Appreciate I’m swimming against the tide here, Tristan; I see no phallic symbolism in steeples and tall slender industrial chimneys but can only marvel at the work undertaken to escape gravity. Certainly get no obeisance out of me! lol
Enjoyed the write and provocation..

So brief yet inspiring the metaphor can not go unnoticed if human the phallic symbol raised and reinforced by the line erected high gives the image that we are driven in demanded obedience being the only one in residence to follow. The primal urge to leave our seed upon the earth. The strongest drive next to survival air, water, food and shelter. A most lovely and powerful write

I am glad I read your comments on this piece for it made me reread it and even read it with a different perspective. Anxiety is and can be as sporadic as you very well described it. Great write, poet.

A write of a largely ignored and unknown subject that many people suffer from in various levels, as the write says, the saying oh just snap out of it only heightens that anxiety because from my point of view, makes you so bloody angry, nice to see a write on this subject.

Anxiety one of the biggest killers, raise blood pressure, alters sugar consumption by the body, increases heart rate among other things. Alters perception, decreases concentration, makes sleep more difficult. A much needed write on a subject too neglected

That was my dad’s generation, after the oppression of the 40s they were kings in the late 50s to the mid70s, the muscle car their god of choice. So many memories and psychoanalytic fodder… much enjoyed🙏🏻🕊

[I just had a ball commenting, and in attempting to eliminate the idiotic slash marks punishing the use of apostrophes, it vaporized in a heartbeat, in lieu of opening the edit page. Being fucked isn\'t fun when you felt inspired. Argh.] What in the world are you about in this pretty number regarding an American classic? Ah, but now I see. That generation gone unto the dogs, there\'s truly naught left but haints to troll the streets and alleyways looking for a place, roaming near and far, displaced by the 80\'s and what followed, til naught but ghosts indeed are at the wheel. Even the Fast and the Furious didn\'t drive that Amer\'can phenomenon. La dee. How delectably rendered with superb imagery and a haunting poignancy I swear is subtly laced by a note of humor. Stupendous. I love it. Thank you for sharing.

My brother was into that type of car making his own funny-car with oversized engine he had more speeding tickets than the glovebox could hold. Great poem Tristan
