repair men

























they came last week
while i was doing
a jigsaw puzzle

i could hear their voices
in my husbands office

something about
download speed
roku
and perhaps
a dozen other terms 
i have no use for

but i liked their voices

and i had the thought
that i would like to see
their faces

look into their eyes
and see the reflections of youth 
and soul

i would like to say
hi

but instead 
i picked up 
another puzzle piece

and before i knew it
they were
gone

and soon after
the puzzle
done

back in its box
on a shelf
in the basement
