As she read, at peace with the world and happy as
only a little girl could be with a fine book and a little
bowl of candy, and all alone in the house, the leaf
shadows shifted and the afternoon passed.

The Leaky Faucet
All through the night, the leaky faucet
searches the stillness of the house
with its radar blip: who is awake?
Who lies out there as full of worry
as a pan in the sink? Cheer up,
cheer up, the little faucet calls,
someone will help you through your life.
