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
