#318 emptying the sink

out back, under a weathered tarpaulin, is an abandoned sedan
some rust
once a pride

he sees this through his corner window
by his writing desk
pen in hand

he reaches down and his biceps curl the lower drawer open
the folder has weight, heft
tension and readiness battle within his skeleton

as the folder thuds into its workspace
the tarpaulin flaps open in the wind
reveals a promising decal
