The plumber watched his apprentice work on a shower faucet. It was old and probably could use more repair than he was authorized to perform.
The apprentice tried to loosen a tight connection. He asked the plumber, What if I break it?

I am old. I am bold and the rage
trapped inside must get out on some stage.
So I whine and I cry.
So I ramble and lie.
So I act unbecoming my age.

He was woke. He was broke. He was cursed
By some demons who got to him first
Then a witch (maybe two)

It is white. It is bright. It is snow.
Down the street, if I’m forced to, I’d go.

You ask, why? Well, I don’t

His voice is what I’ve learned to hear
and He will lead me home.
