I witnessed a fly, die
before my very eyes
his legs upturned
so I said a few words...

sometimes life gives you ****
and you gotta eat it


then averted my eyes
as if to cry
but when I looked back
his body had vanished
somehow he managed
to avoid death

I guess the moral is none of us know how long we got left.

So when you’re lying on your back with your legs akimbo
enjoy the moment as it could be your last shout
or just another fly by the window.
This is based on a true story but some elements may have been enhanced for entertainment value.
