Her dog walks in to check out the scent

of the razor clam soup. She sits next to my chair,

and I notice a fly orbit her snout.

The dog keeps her eyes fixed on mine

and pays no attention to the fly.

She's focused on the prospect of a hand-down.

The fly breaks orbit to navigate the galaxy

of the kitchen table, then touches down on the rim

of the young lady's bowl.

"Oh! Swoosh away, you dirty thing!" She whines.

Her hands flick back and forth rapidly over the bowl

as the fly soars towards the ceiling's yellow-white star.
