Lunar Excursion Module Poems | Examples

Discontinued?

Eventualities don't apply to me
     (I can dream)
no matter their presence
in the mirrors of reality

Always one step ahead
though the shrinking distance 
     haunts
like the miles left for a Tesla charge
eventualities be damned

A proud GTO once sneered
at the pitiful jalopies that 
    soiled the curb

a roaring young engine
never once to glance at
those left behind -

the defunct riffraff
that Pontiac replaced,
now, their value measured only
by the thump of a 
    Mecum gavel

The showrooms now occupied
     by "green" Prius's
  and other hybrid youths
who sneer at discontinued
   glutinous appetites

       While the GTO,
like a deserted lunar excursion module,
waits for the next Apollo mission -

              still

I've learned to celebrate today
until my "jalopiness" overcomes me -
eventualities be damned!
