I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Forty is Human Fly by The Cramps.

Human Fly

Buzzing like a pest

Ninety-Six tears in his eyes

Garbage tastes like pie.

Please check out the great poetry from Paul Stewart and Tina D. Lopez who have joined me for the ride and created some beautiful work:
