you think you're clever
escaping my hand time and time again.
i will let you live a while longer
before i bring my swatter
down onto your beautifully engineered body.
but in the meantime
you are my entertainment.
i watch you cleaning your front legs
and then your wings.
so meticulous
so conscientious
so far, so good
so last-minute.
any requests?
