to tinker

do men still tinker
at a work bench?
huddled alone, 
in part of the garage
or cellar,
his place. his home
away from home.
the spotlight on,
the stool that spins,
a place for every tool,
a clock, or something
broken that needs
mending, cradled
in his hands.
do men still tinker, or
has that day passed too?

Nobody --I guarantee no high school
student, no matter how gifted--
has heard the word.
