Houseflies

Houseflies.

A man, dying of boredom
Set up three jars in his kitchen.

The first jar had vinegar in it.
The second preferred honey,
And the third had never stood on its head.

The flies and the leeches
Swam in the honey
And feasted on sweet
Glimmering goo.

The rodents all drowned
In the bitter blind vinegar
And laughed at the leeches
And cried for salvation
And gnawed at the air.

The third little jar
Spent years training up
And now was its time.
It used all its muscles
To do a great backflip
And shattered on the ground.

The man, somewhat amused
Came back from the bathroom,
Picked up the jars
Full of honey and vinegar
And shook them together,
Rodents, flies, leeches,
And everything.

Then he sealed them up good,
Swept up the floor,
With the glass and everything,
Watched his pests suffocate
And threw the jars out onto
The highway behind his house.
He watched the cars crash
And laughed whimsically.

And it was all okay,
For he was bored
And it was cloudy
And all he needed was
A few good laughs
And a couple of pests
Out of his kitchen.
And with that done,
He took a nap.
