the pinto wagon
pea-soupy green
wood-ish sides
bare bones edition
shared with sibs
junk food
single shoes
lost school papers
hand crank windows
no air
sometimes heat
as many friends as we could jam in

but it had wheels
took us places

had a number of flivvers
over the years
but none
carried the memories
like this one.
