Arc

Five minutes. Screwdriver. Done.

New hinge, old war won—

door swings clean. No grind, no fight.

The tile's still not right.

Half-moon scored in white from all

the months I let the old one crawl

and didn't kneel. Didn't care.

Five-minute fix. It was always there.

New hinge, clean swing, no sound.

The proof is in the ground.
