leavings       a collection of left-over poems       John Bailey      

On the death of a house fly

it's not personal
          pzatt!
but if the gods
          pzift!
of small deaths
          pzatt!
send you back
          pzift!
on the great wheel of life
          pzatt!
go shit somewhere else
          gotcha!
