he was working on it for the

past nine years

and the car still

wouldn’t

start

It was still sitting, rotting, in

front of the apartment

complex he was

kicked out from

after that messy divorce

from nine years ago

He wasn’t much different

before though. Every time he’d have

a fight with his wife

he’d get out

and find something to do

around the car

change a tire

replace or tighten some fasteners

wash it

wax it

and so on

Nine years ago he had a name

but today they

called him Schopenhauer

because he slept with a

poodle dog

in the car

It wasn’t a neighborhood of

learned people

so not many got the

joke anyway

And it didn’t matter. The one

thing they could all

believe and understand was that

Schopenhauer’s car will

surely

start again

one day

soon
