I try to catch a fly for hours.
I read, it whizzes past,
I want to hit it, but I miss.
I look for it,
it can’t be seen.
Still I hear it
humming,
buzzing,
whirring,
droning,
bumbling
around and around.
It annoys me.
There it is, here it is,
come and gone.
I am fed up.
I get up.
I want to gulp down
the last drop of whisky in my glass
only to find that the fly has drowned in it.
