jump starting the time traveler
I was down in the dumps
staring into the palm of my
left hand
a couple digits on the other
practicing chopsticks
I hadn’t been to the junkyard
in what seemed like a lifetime
not looking for anything
in particular
especially not a porcupine
but this time I had technology
on my side
mystery & manipulation
lifting me out of my doldrums
and onto a path
never before seen
july two thousand twenty-four
