Auntie said
don't go
too far away
with the mutt
...
You made your way from the john
to the dining table
and Auntie said
...
Auntie cut the rind
off the bacon
and offered it
to the dog
...
Flypapers hung in the kitchen
Of Auntie’s house. Death traps
For flies that buzzed at their ends
Or buzzed noisily from surface
...
