#75 - flies are fast

Ides of March

75

flies are fast

have you noticed?

it’s when you wish them ill

if I were faster than a fly

I’d be a ping pong ace

or WWI, dart out, dart in

later on, take flak

can you tear their wings off?

have you your own drone to chase?

something rancid draws them

they’ll follow up any graph

and fester

diaphanously limbed

and after full moon

see to herd

match swarm

dance with them

all up in the air

lovely, bring contagion

crisis to lurch

how many eyes together to see?

flies are fast

but there’s the sticky paper

poisoned air, honey trap

they pace the upside down of ceiling

glass, what-have-you

polish paws

because they’re aeronauts

and teach us all so many things

won’t you just remind me please

how is it that they drop?
