		Hi Wjames,
An enjoyable read, melancholy
without being overly sentimental,
but I think the title tells too much.
(maybe 'handy man' or similar?)
Sawdust rots inside a damp garage,
the concrete walls and groaning bulb
an old folks home for sleds and bikes,
- do you need 'for sleds and bikes'?
cobwebbed, rusting, lonely.
I'm slumped over the workbench
with a hammer and a bottle,
wishing I could make things right.
- Feels like it's missing a line, a return
to the imagery of v1 perhaps?
Best, Knot.
