high beams

[asakiyume]

You flick your lights at me?
You think these are my brights?
No, no, no:
If I were on high beams
You would see nothing
But the retina-destroying brilliance
Of twin suns in supernova
A radiance so profound
That the shadows it casts
Tremble in perpetual aftershock.

I love it! :)

Thanks!

I love the high beams on my car. It makes all the roadsigns glow, so the air looks filled with mystical, bright-colored symbols.

It is really a feeling familiar from experience of going by car at night. I liked the poem.

It is interesting to make photoes using the high beam...

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

That's what I want to do! Take a photo! I need someone to drive me, so I can manage the camera, or else get it somehow mounted on the dashboard.

Here are some photoes I took part in making with the use of high beam: http://vasma-pr.livejournal.com/13467.html Maybe it'll be interesting for you to look at them )))

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Yes, it very much was! It looks like another world.

If I manage to take any myself, I will post them too.

[vasma-pr.livejournal.com]

It'l be interesting to see your photoes - reflecting the beauty of your poem...

How awesome! I love it!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad :-)

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Cool, and what attitude. :)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

My old car had weak headlights. This one has really strong headlights. I am at risk of becoming an asshole in this car. Must .... resist .... temptation

[heliopausa.livejournal.com]

Ouch! for the retina-destroying brilliance.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

It is a faery car that comes with the injunction never to use the high beams around mortals.

[heliopausa.livejournal.com]

:) Lovely!

[athenais.livejournal.com]

Wonderfully feisty! Made me grin.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Haha, I'm glad!

Prrrt.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

People have composed music based on that trembling.

Now THAT is what one ought to do with road rage!

P.

(I promise you that real-life me doesn't succumb to road rage!)

"You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me?"
Travis Bickle is no match for Asakiyume.

Magnificent. If rules allow it, it should be published.

Sue Charlton: [cautiously] He's got a knife.
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [chuckles] That's not a knife.
[He pulls out a large bowie knife]
Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: THAT's a knife.
THAT's a poem.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I love that scene in Crocodile Dundee :D

And thank you!

[oiktirmos.livejournal.com]

I never thought of headlights, but of intellectual and creative brilliance.

It is the most defiant declaration of intellectual dynamism I have read.

It would be a superb motto.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I *wish* I had that much self-confidence! I should try to inculcate it!

You flick your lights at me?

The modern version of Do you bite your thumb at me?, clearly.

Lovely poem.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Shakespeare for the en-carred :-)

Ah - good poem. so familiar. the unenlightened raging against my normal headlights... I love my highbeams too.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

It's a new feeling for me! Our old car had very pathetic headlights.

[bobby1933.livejournal.com]

What they all said!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

So glad you enjoyed it :-)
