Emily Dickinson's Fly

by jvbeaupre

i am that Fly-- the one that Crawled across the sheet-- her last sound and Sight and i want You to know-- its not my fault, she Would have died-- Anyway We flies get a bad rap-- we carry Germs- never met one myself-- Across food i tippy-toe-- i only take One bite- from that little Bite-- she would not -- could not die But let me set the record Straight--when she finally went still-- was i Glad-- one less Swatting and shooing-- but its not my Fault, she would have died-- anyway.
