you don’t pursue someone because you feel right
love is shared principles
love is discipline
you may think flies to be stupid
the summer heat as they glow red under a necked lamp post
at night next to the clay courts
it’s summer love
they are easily fooled by the trick of the light
but most of the time they do end up reaching the sun
smarter than icarus, not foolish
because a fly can afford to make mistakes for a moment that will win them
everything
a foreign sub intelligence we could stand to learn from
