People never complain 
about your tools
laying around
when you are fixing
for
free
something 
they broke
themselves
out of  neglect

They will
weave a tale
of a child wandering by
finding something I left 
and harming themselves

Without fail

Instead of looking
just for a moment at
what is broken
within themselves
which is also free to do

But don’t mind me

I’m just fixing things
