In the parkway, near the orange construction cone,
a tiny car burrows into the ground.
It may have mistaken the shovel thrust
for the Bat Cave or other superhero headquarters.
Beneath the chassis, a hand deep,
an Indian head penny feels its first damp air
in over a century
in the company of a Moxie bottle cap.

Yesterday’s Hot Wheels care provided more inspiration, though this is a fancy in that none of the items was found beneath the car.
Beautiful.
