hose water

lids are a problem
these days.
the butter lid.
the half and half cap.
i need plyers
to twist and turn things
open.
water bottles
nearly break my wrist.
gin bottles.
even the tooth paste tube
has an extra lid
on it.
as a kid i remember
turning on the
faucet and drinking
from the hose,
once the bugs and heat
washed out.

What about the cap
on milk cartons? How infuriating is that??
How I long for the old days
when the worst that could happen
is that you would fold back the carton
from the wrong side
Now I just end up stabbing at
my Half & Half with a knife
hoping to win
