'what is truth'?
a journalist kneels

Written on 03 March 2016.

 
no-go zone no flies on him
 
as sleep comes the fly
 
between chopsticks the fly
 
after all eggs to lay the fly
 
in the food-court all are the fly
 
sometimes verb mostly noun the fly
 
his name born in flight the fly
 
the fly is patient with your vanity
 
waiting on a clock time flies
 
eyeing the ointment the fly
 
in summer wind the fly blown 
 
remembering Issa the fly
 
at prayer time the fly
 
six carcasses in search of a fly
 
breaking down the issue a fly
 
before and after love the fly
 
speeding through the flight of the bumblebee the fly
 
giving life to the feast the fly
 
a fly interrupts the music of the spheres
 
testing wanton boys the fly
 
no flies on him the fly
 
splatted in his own reflection the fly
 
the fly doesn't believe in swat
 
to fly or not to fly the fly
 
in flight announcements from the fly
 
the fly lays down the last words
 
dotting an i the fly
 
the fly takes joy from our sorrow
 
in communing on the dead the fly knows
 
switched to flight mode the fly's cells
 
the fly mops up after a drone
