I am taking the afternoon off to tighten screws.

Literally.

There are loose screws everywhere in this house.

All the screws on our door knobs, loose
from all the opening and closing.

All the screws beneath our dining room chairs, loose
from all shifting in our seats.

The screws behind our kitchen cabinet knobs? The screws
inside the plastic feet of our rice cooker? They’re loose too.

Even the tiny ones on my reading glasses need to be tightened.

I know what you’re thinking: Adrian has a screw loose.

But that one was stripped long ago, and I can’t reach it.

Some loose screws, I’m afraid, you just have to live with.
