whose owner let him rust, 
grime has worked its way into every crevice
and he’s escaped 
                             the shop
to find someone
who can
reach his key
         and
         wind him up

    Robots are relatively immortal, with a little help. The reference to “shop” is redolent of my grampa’s garage–his second home–and so rich! Did he have Betty Grable pinned to the wall? My grandma was the president of the local Women’s Christian Temperance Union, so this was his private altar. Oh, Gramps! I guess I’m what’s walking around, redolent with California in my mind!
