HE SAT IN THE DEALERSHIP

"Stars Over Casco Bay", oil, by Elizabeth Fraser
He sat in the dealership
doing nothing – 
not noticing other people, 
not preparing to-do lists, 
not listening to anxious thoughts. 
He simply sat in silence 
as the planets and stars sailed out
on their timeless journeys
and his blood held a steady course
through trustworthy veins
and flawless, unselfish arteries.
