Laying Flooring
Can’t even walk downstairs
and remember the length,
best to mark the section,
take the board with me.
Measure twice, saw once
Damn, can’t see the screw’s slot
to fit the flat blade,
best to put my glasses on.
Better to light one candle than stumble in the darkness
Had to learn to cope molding;
messed up one piece, sliced my finger,
Practice makes perfect
His voice echoes in the empty room.
