Hose Bib Metaphor of Life

there’s a small sadness
in calling the plumber
for something you’d have solved
with half a hangover
and the wrong tools
a few years ago.

but the plumber’s a good guy.
he fixes it quick,
smiles,
says it wasn’t a big deal.

I nod, pay him,
–watch him drive off
with my former life
rattling in the back
of his truck.
