Adventure

(on a trip)

On the train.... heading to the bus
... then down to Albany. 
A long way... six hours on the bus!
Then when I arrive I'll meet my new toy...
a silver boy... he's twenty nine now
at the time that I adopt him.

I was thirty nine when he was built.
I wonder how old his body will be....
when my body finally calls it quits?

I hope that he will live
for a long time after me....
a legacy to those I leave behind?

So I must care for him and make sure
that he can still be driving
even though I'm not surviving.
