The Sky, Almost Dusk, After Rain

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?

  1. 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

    1. 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.

      1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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?
