Antique Hubcaps
It is an old and well cared for car
and it is loved

an old sweater
after all week in a plush corporate car
Like all old things my car lost
one of its hub caps or wheel coverings
and a brother-in-law and I set out
to find a replacement in
auto junk yards but none was found

cleverness and this day he was
brilliant
in suggesting that we look for
two matching hubcaps for the wheels on
the side of the missing one since
no person ever sees but
one side of a car
In no time at all we find a suitable
matching pair
