Electric boy
Smart enough
to be an engineer.
Handy enough
to work construction.
Yet somehow
dumb as a loaf of bread
for a short moment.
One drill.
Straight through the wall.
A careless mistake.
Violent spark.
Kitchen goes dark.
Luck feels terrifying.
You cheated death.
Somehow
life protects fools.
Glad to know
out of all idiots,
it protected
my idiot.

Lol. The last stanza made my morning.
“Somehow/life protects fools” is a brilliant line!
