September turns house flies into vicious attack beasts or so it seems. It is like they know the end is coming and they need to create larva so that next year you can be attacked again. One afternoon my neck survived a rather biting session with one of these determined beasts.

The Fly

They tuck and they dive

With indiscriminate passion

Again and again

In their dying hours

Leaving virus and bacteria

And other disgusting things

On your skin

In their effort

To deploy offspring

To fulfill their daily

Assignments

Of annoying you.
