Lyons waiting for the pump remember a
Perfect moment of tremendous speed across water
Caught in thinning hair, smokey mustache whiskers,
Loose collars, trailing out a testament to
tears that are acceptable to the machinists
weekend witnessed by the cream coveralls
Attending to giant chess pieces pumping.

Waiting for the pump
The sun hits the shiny skin
She remembers a perfect moment
He thinks of his boat
The white dress shirt is unbuttoned to catch the speed
The wind tugging his thinning hair
Salty seasoned tears streaming down the sides of his face.
The mustache whiskers catch the smoke that trails out a testament to the tremendous speed that man can travel across water.
the attendant in cream overalls waves him next.
We both wonder when the last time we will see these kinds of pump.
They watch the car leaving and wonder when the last time they'll see that kind of car together.
We pass each other.
we agree that you can tell a lot about a person by their vehicles.
