the fly indoors  (  a  t r u e  s t o r y  )

…

the fly indoors remains indoors

from room to room, from floor to floor

it bumbles on throughout this house

outside the world waits - unexplored


the window's smashed so you could go

to paris, hull or tokyo

i tell said fly - i need not lie

follow that breeze which sweetly blows


instead there's buzz & buzz again

as all is buzz-buzz in my brain

plus buzz & buzz & buzz & buzz

plus buzz, plus buzz - it's been decades


or so things seem, once more i groan

then cry - oh fly, please leave this home

or i'll make soup then thou may drown

oh fuck off fly - leave me

alone
