 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

LET THERE BE LIGHT



The neighbor a builder of homes
Was helping me put in a three way switch
Basement bathroom has no windows
Power switches off we were screwing in
I was holding extension light from utility room
Wife a worrier said, "Aren't you going to
disconnect the main fuses?" He so manly said,
"I am so confident!" Placing screw drivers end
to end and touching a power wire in the outlet.
What were the chances---? The light bulb
in the extension blew up in a shower of sparks.
We replaced the bulb finished connecting
but this time covered in sweat and with the
Main fuse turned off.
