A chapter in the book Worlds

Fly World 4

by Bill Schott

I had to meet you

out here away from others

on this narrow leaf

I have tasted life

from its finest day-old fruits

to its excrement

My first movements were

as a maggot in the eye

of a road-kill rat

It will all soon end

in our dramatic epic

of the kitchen chase

Today, however,

I will face you eye to eyes

wishing you long life

until we meet again

may all your dog poop be fresh

and your swatter quick
