Today
harkened
back to childhood,
somewhere between
Legos and Atari, when I'd
spend hours huffing glue and
Testors enamel paint, breaking parts
off plastic sprues to assemble model cars,
ships, and planes. I was that kid who'd use a
toothpick to dab the tiny speedometer needle red.
My fleet of pristine vehicles occupied a place of
pride
on my bedroom shelves, until one by one they met
fiery
and explosive ends as my boyish urges turned
destructive.
But not so now! We had a reunion of sorts in Vault parking lot,
first time in a year Rich, Rob, Jesse, Matt, and I
gathered (missing Will),
not to jam, perhaps, but I was grateful for their
help in assembling this
rack.
