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.
