it's easy, just look it up on YouTube

it's
easy.
you look it up on YouTube.
you find
out how to do
it,
to replace
a garbage disposal
beneath your kitchen
sink.
you're on
the floor for
maybe
six hours.
the water is turned
off and your
back hurts.
your knuckles are bleeding
and the dog
is licking your face.
the flashlight is low
on power
as you stare in the abyss
of pipes,
screws and flanges.
finally, you give up,
pushing all of 
your new plumbing
tools aside.
you call Mike.
willing to pay him
double time.
