If Now A Fly
If a fly
Could show you how it sees,
If a fly could want such
A thing:
It wouldn’t show you as a fly,
But a fly.
The Homosexual Fly
a fly that lives one day
but not to breed,
like birds and bees
and flowers and trees
that rhyme in the time honored vision of a God,
but like a piece of a chip
of wood,
nearby,
the desert where death doesn't even
live enough to eat;
and a fly isn't human.
