Mshuge cat vs Musca domestica
he sits on the kitchen floor
tail tip twitching
examines the spot
where wall meets ceiling
above the cabinets
from time to time
his head moves to follow
the route his mind is mapping
his proposed solution
to the fly question
suddenly his body tenses
tail whipping
gathering his feet tightly
a bundle of energy
ready to spring
a resounding thwack
he makes it to the top
from which the flies have flown
he turns to stare at me
because it is all my fault
