Improv 40 (“The Pardon” Wilbur)


“Fredrick The Fly”
On my back porch, where my
Mother and I bond while inhaling toxic tar
The lit fan above has a pet gnat
The family has entitled Fredrick the Fly.

He appeared over Summer and
Loops rounds hovering on the finned blade
When tired of rotating for hours on end.
The mosquitos’ citronella never kept him at bay.
His girlfriend Francesca appeared in mating
Season, before the first frost
The cold spell and winds must have drove them
away, for they have long been departed.
