do flies commit suicide?

homocide

"do you think flies commit suicide?"

you say, nonchalant, just

above the smoky rim of your

morning mug o' java.

i ask you to elaborate.

you say---"well, do you

suppose at times some of them

purposely leap into the hands

of homocide; amble into the

webs of spiders' willingly &

without pause?"

elucidate.

"yesterday i cleaned out the under-bed

& dusted the shades & came

upon a mini-wild kingdom;

a microcosmic

cable special

for the inebriated to see. . ."

i don't understand.

"i think . . ."

are you okay? "i feel like . . ."

you don't look so good

"i know that i don't want

to see you anymore."

oh.
