The Fly in the Room
What is important isn’t
what is going to happen,
but how it will happen,
for instance, without you
even once crying out.
Afterwards, we lie in the dark
on the vomitrocious couch
you bought off Craigslist,
not speaking, just waiting
for our hearts to slow down.
The fly is another character.
Everyone hates flies. Flies
bite, drone, they overbreed.
So there is a tragic aspect,
all those detailed little dots.
