over the weekend 

i engage in the mundane

task of mechanics

a brief respite from worldliness

the convergence of tools

and hardware

raw odors and textures

of fuel and grease

spots of blood on dirty rags

acquired skill guiding the way

the vroom-vroom 

of a long dormant engine

colin's grandfather will be proud

i am proud

~

i dance my happy dance

causing colin to upset his equilibrium
