"Jump Cabling"

This poem was different from poems I'm used to reading. I liked the format with the space in between. I don't recall seeing that before. I feel as if this poem gave a different meaning by using the space. In one sense yes it was about cars but with a pause it broke away to another meaning such as a relationship or intimate moment between two people. For example "When our cars touched" (1) It could also mean when our hearts touched or when you touch someone for the first time. I liked this poem in that is was simple yet very cleaver at the same time. I think the last line represents an intimate journey and it brings both meanings together, perhaps.
