a fly lands
on my cup of coffee
and I get pissed off
If I swat it
I’ll have
dead fly remains
on my cup
and possibly even
in my coffee
it’s not a good morning
when a fly
gets in your face
before you finish
that precious first cup
there’s little
you can do about it
and that really sucks
luckily
the fly will leave
but it does
make me nervous
to think
it could have laid eggs
that would be real nice
and just what I need
fly larvae turning
into maggots
inside my stomach
so with that thought
I realize
I am really ready
to face the new day
