Big black fly
I trapped
In the bathroom
Flying
Buzzing
Dive-bombing
As I wash my face
Insane
Desperate
To find
Its way out
Calm down
I say gently
As I reach
For a towel
I have a plan
I’ll turn off
The light
Then I’ll open
The window
And you’ll
Find the way
It would not
Listen
Smacking madly
Into walls
And I wondered
If I was
Like the fly
Half-crazed
With worry
Trying to
Find a way
Calm down
God said gently
Reaching for
The switch
I have a plan
Don’t be
Afraid
I’ve turned off
The lights
So you can
Find the way
