on a trash heapThe old motor is silent & battery drained My spark plugs have corroded & chassis needs a change This vehicle is at a standstill far from any freeway On a cracked, bug-infested windshield a marker states: YOU ARE INFORMED that your vehicle is parked unlawfully. Shortly thereafter, a tow truck hauls this clunky body away Stripped of valuable parts, I am melted down then reincarnated into a gaudy behemoth sure to experience a similar fate. |
| Ron: | So this is how we end up – on the trash heap of history? |
| Lis: | Essentially. Feels weird to know that we are on a mountain of bones, eh? |
| Ron: | We have to make peace with our own skeletons. Sometimes that's not easy. |
| Lex: | We should thank the skeletons of the past for allowing us to experience this moment. Once we have a sense of gratitude, peace becomes effortless. |
