Turning it on
Isn't it transparent
how the water always looks the same
- life is wet!
Still, the tap (US faucet) gets stuck at times
tight, stiff, trapped
a spanner (US wrench) may be required
for the loosening
But once it flows again
it flows again, until
the return of the indifferent drought
Some days a mere trickle
- barely enough to keep a body alive -
other times, the cursing and
the yanking
And days when the correct tools
cannot be located
- borrowing takes place,
the quick fix
Other beverages are available, of course
but they lack the purity, and the clarity
of the haitch the aitch and the oh
