Outside

Sitting outside,
the flies don't buzz your ears.
The outside flies accept
that their parents did the best they could
to raise them
with what they had.
Not like the psychologically frustrated flies
who buzz your eyes and nose
in sticky and uncomfortable
hot classrooms.


Those tiny black bastards,
with angst from their repressed desires,
take the rage out on you!
Fly in low, buzzing
right inside the ear canal
so the sound magnifies
like a Metallica amp turning on suddenly
next to your ear
and recoil like an idiot
like all those times you walked into spider webs

Not even the best fly psychologist
could change these neurotic fuckers.
Impossible to relieve their stress!
they also
sick of
being in this
fucking room.
