Skate

The skate climbed out of the boat and returned home.

Upon its arrival, the skate community embraced their previously lost comrade.
They held the once-lost skate above high.
They sang its name.
They loved its regained life.

The skate basked in this glory for its remaining days.

Upon its passing, reflection returned to that singular moment of homecoming.

Said one skate to another, "That was one lost skate."

The other said to one "Aw, hell yeah."
