Crumbs seductively line
Corian countertops –
abundance for flies,
I understand
It’s a trap!
I’d warn, but
buzz is not a language
familiar to my tongue
temper unsuited
to accommodating pests –
we navigate an end
to the ensuing discomfort
fly doomed,
my senses rattled
effort now exerted
to vanquish crumbs.

Well put this dilemma. I try to capture ants and throw them out the front door rather than kill them but I also have images of bygone kitchens with flypaper dangling. I think my sensibilities have developed as I age, but I have no idea how to solve the problem of flies!

Blow flies can be so annoying. They really make me edgy sometimes. Your poem captures that feeling well.
