plumber Mike

he smiles,
knowingly, then pulls
down his welder's mask
and lights
the torch,
bends to the pipe
in the tightest
of corners,
fixing
the smallest of leaks.
a tiny
hole in the copper elbow
where
water springs out.
it could
ruin
everything, but there's
nothing to fret
about.
it's easy
for him, saving the world,
one weld
at a time.
satisfying, as you pay him
whatever
he wants
for five minutes
of time.
