Small and annoying, buzzing
nuisance multiplies within
minutes.
I am armed with apple cider vinegar,
citronella candles, and patience,
yet I cannot defeat them …
A concoction: honey, water, and
red wine vinegar, microwaved
for twenty-five seconds is their
burning bed.
The dog watches me as I
run around my apartment placing
little cups of this trap in
certain spaces.
I never thought I would
be so happy to witness
the death of a fruit fly.
