a flying leap

5 5 0
                                    


the fly buzzes past me

irritating little shit

keeps landing on my computer screen

giving me a fit


Storm laying on a rug

in front of the fireplace

"Storm get the fly"

she starts the chase


up the stairs

down the stairs

into the kitchen 

across the living room floor

over the couch

over my keyboard

across the kitchen counter

up the from door


i look at her

she looks at me

"well", i ask her

"you gonna let this be"


a fixed stare

as the fly lands on the floor

a flick of the tail

a wiggle of the butt

a flying leap


the fly is no more
