In late afternoon light

a man of narrow face

and no given age

wearing a treasured ball cap

carries his pocked

grey metal Craftsman

to the bed

of a 60’s pickup

in the driveway of the house

where he’s been fixing gutters,

and slides it next

to a paint splattered

orange water cooler

with a white top

 

Next come his ladders
