[Tiger the Lion]

There's a multitude of tangential meanings for one to entertain, some more justified than others. That's what makes this piece great: we're not struggling to find meaning, just sifting through tantalizing possibilities. 

One opportunity that I did see: I think that "old" is implied because it's the father's lawnmower. You could put that syllable to other use, if you wanted. 

Really well done.

Thanks for that OMG. If "old" is implied, you're right, I may be able to slip in a more textured modifier. The thing about those old lawnmowers is they worked forever. The new ones are like kitchen appliances and only last a few years. So the lawnmower is as much a perennial miracle as spring itself.
