Tinkering

Under stuffings of board games,
ice cream makers, and poster board
We dig up the Tinker Toys
And construct
Skyscraper/Triceratops/Castle/Planes
Ends gnawed by nervous teeth.
Jimmy-rigged, spare parts tucked
into open holes
Constructed,
Left to admire for wandering eyes
Pieces run for refuge
behind the couch
Waiting for movers or spiders to find them.
