Fly Paper

Fingers covered in glue
the adhesive of the mind,
always capturing flies
found on money and expense accounts,
squashing them into wallet,
so nobody will see the epoxy resin
leaving its suspicious stain.

Life with eyes
seeing other’s possessions
as insects you have to catch.

Hearts obsessed with bug collecting
cementing their black widow appetite
to another person’s deeds of ownership.
