in Summer heat.
I stand in the open garage
and see no one walking by
and no cars in the distance.
It is a rare stillness.
The washing machine spins
it's load. It has thought
about retirement but doesn't
think it would be happy.
The dryer is sleeping
but will have to get working
soon. They sit next to each
other like an old married
couple who can enjoy
long silences without worry.
I lean against my car.
It too has been thinking
about retirement. I know
this because of the check
engine lights on its dash
board. When its time comes
it will be easy
to let one another go.
