The Blue Van


There is a blue van across the street from me of curious workmanship. It would appear that the van most probably journeyed down the assembly line long before the time of my birth.  To add to the style of the van, there are no hub caps as that would detract from the visual appeal.  Luckily there is at least one headlight that appears that it could possibly be functional.  This is always the better than having no headlights because that would inhibit driving in the dark.  The tail lights are all present but not necessarily where they should be.  Some of the lights are in pieces on the ground by the rear tires but they are all here.  Unlike many of the old cars that plague hoarders backyards, this beautiful blue van has all four tires inflated.  Whether this van can turn its engine is entirely a mystery that I do not intent to explore.  It is not because I am lazy, but rather because I have no desire to every come near to the blue van.  Perhaps its true beauty comes from observing from a distance.  I believe this blue van was once a mighty van that ventured out for miles at a time but no longer has the power to move.
