<Moby Fly>

ode to the fly that won’t stop buzzing by my side:

At first, I wanted to kill it but I couldn’t
“How?”
Could I not bear to kill another life?
no.
a lost.

instead,
I made a new “friend” with this frenemy…

…or
maybe…..
this is just an ongoing game of mental-chess…..?

hm
…can I really trust this fly???
will he fly into my food?
will he reproduce?
will this fly need to fuck other flies in my house just for horny fly fuck sake?

if yes,
then no,
of course it cannot stay in this house,

FLY
ALREADY,

out the window,
I opened it for you,
LEAVE!

(a waiting beat)

“Why” you buzz?

because if you stay I can feel the beginnings of premeditated murder happening inside of me

and i’m not trying to become that person,
clearly i’m trying to be more zen,

Hence why I didn’t kill you!

but yet,
here i am now
shoe already in hand,
watching you at the corner of my eye,
ready for your next move,
AND the very slight chance that you overstay your welcome,
AND attempt to become some sort of houseguest,
or even worst,

roommate

REMEMBER this ain’t no airbnb fly!

And, it’s not like I even know what you’re doing inside my home anyway
or how you even got in here in the first place
and,
it is simply because of this that i need to always see you

Observe you,
and know what you’re up to,
you know?

What do you do while I’m asleep?
Do you come into my room and watch me?
perch and touch all of my things when I’m away?

come on,

don’t look at me like that?
How can I really trust you?

you’re a fly!

we could never be friends.

This is insane.
get off my leg!

stop being emotional,
get yourself together man

This friendship will never work out.
you won’t even live that long!

20 days?

that’s not long enough to even call a life.
touch me again and you’re dead.
you won’t even make it to 10!

damn you’re already almost mid-aged huh?
damn, time flies huh?

stop touching me!
ain’t you too old for this shit
bothering people and what not

what’s that?
“life is just passing you by”?
and you just want someone around?
don’t want to die alone?

Awwwwwww,
well,

there’s plenty of company outside get the f*** out my house fly

(throws shoe)

I gotta-live alone fly!
your old-ass should know that by now.

Seriously
what have you even been doing with your days?
just flying around?
no real contribution to the world?

nothing?

just taking up space?
pretending to be busy?
staring at people while they eat?
buzzing behind their back?

Listen, I really think its time you got your life together fly,

ya know,

like get your own place,
maybe a female fly friend?
find some nice shit to live off of,
have some larvae of your own,

ya know,

It’ll be great for you!

Come on fly,
Ya gotta go!!!
This is it I swear.

#$%^&*$%$$%*^&*!

you lingering loser,
seriously,

why do you want to be somewhere where you’re so unwanted?
do you think this is normal???
mentally sound??
what’s your therapist’s saying about this, man?
idk it just doesn’t feel very healthy,
ya know,

so,

here’s what happening.

I’ve rolled up,
this-here magazine
as a preliminary “military drill”
in the event that i should feel threatened by
you or
your overstayed unwelcome.

Please note there is spray near by
and that in the event of anything
I am willing to do anything to save my peace.

The Window Is Open
its your move.

your choice
read the room fly.
