Neil has a heart
beat
in his pipes
he says
don't we all I think
there is even a
pulse
you can feel it
hand on the copper
outside the bathroom
I imagine plumbers
testing for life in
the waters
with two fingers
gently
feeling for thrum
pulling the
sphygmomanometer
out of some crevice
to assess the
pressure
turns out I have a
leak
he says
don't we all I think
wonderful wry tone!
