Read the poem. Then, review the bolded text in the second stanza.
My Model Car
The hours piled on,
As I sprawled out on my carpet,
Tinkering with tweezers,
Fiddling with rubber bands,
Trying to make my model car come to life.
Finally, eyes bleary, I went for a walk,
Leaving the car parts behind.
I took in the details of the neighbourhood,
The trills and chirps of birds in the trees,
The thick, smoky smell of a grill
Fired up in my neighbour’s garden.
I came back and opened my door.
Hoping the car had assembled itself. No, but—
I suddenly saw the parts with new eyes,
My mind clear and ready.
My tools bent and twisted the pieces
Like they’d always known what to do.
