Of Life and Loss
I met an old friend who said to me
“I watched this tap drip, all the time I was with it”
I asked him
“What did you do”
He told me
“The plumber said it could not be fixed”
He bowed his head and said
“I don’t have the tap anymore”
I said
“Well, that’s one less thing to worry about”
I saw a tear splash on the floor and he said
“What am I going to do now”
