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.
