if you drove by

you'd think she

was enjoying

writing

observing

from the front porch

but in reality

flies are biting

landing

footblister screaming 

snipping peaceful moments

but

she's trying 

so

o

hard

to 

ignore the flies

who are

most likely searching

for the 

unfound, 

dead-under-porch-animal

for her own
