The puddled sidewalks and streets are expert ocularists. And the roofs are ruddy and formal.
What to do with an abandoned car in an overgrown lot. We could toss coins at it to make our wishes?
We have a kind of photosynthesis in our souls, pending celestials at the doorway. The darkness threaded by a spool of angels. The property value of a gust of wind and of the dusk already into the hills.
The mass of the planets helped shape the solar system. And how much of that affects who I am?
Come! I’ve got a pocketful of pennies!

I once drove a decent 83 ford (don’t remember the car details) to Bemidji, Minnesota, to a friend’s cabin and it was quiet there, almost loud, the silence. I was so not used to it. And anyway, we would walk around and there was one abandoned car. I forget what kind. Some sort of truck. But the cool thing was that weeds and flowers were making progress in their attempt to push through the growing cracks in the car’s floorboard

We had a small wood near us, and there were a couple of abandoned cars, just the rusty frames left, and nature had taken hold, and I always loved the contrast between the metal frame and the flowers and plants.

I guess nature always wins. It takes awhile sometimes, but in the end, I guess all man made objects won’t last, even robots? Or maybe they’ll be built with a never death gene?

Who knows, that might be possible in the future. But maybe I’ve watched too many sci-fi movies were something like that goes wrong.

Ah, abandonment, … now I’m wondering how the car felt, …does it now have ‘green’ attachment issues, …🌿

Hmm. Good question. Maybe it welcomes all the plants and flowers. A new kind of wishing well.

I love your question of what to do with an abandoned car in an overgrown lot. It seems Mother Nature is already answering that for you–recycling her stolen metals and reclaiming a lost piece of her.

Thanks Diana. That’s a wonderful thought. The plants and flowers bringing the car back home to Mother Nature.

You’re good at putting images and questions that my brain rolls around. Nutritious food for thought. Here’s something back to you: If we tossed coins to the abandoned car, would its ghost use the coins to pay tolls on a joy ride through the nation?
