Copernicus spoke with flies
Written by Alek Ridet, 2019
I was thinking
“What is it like to be a fly?”
one came by and said
“Being me is not easy,
I’m short living and eating doo-doo-dee.
I can’t fly high
and they say I ain’t pretty
but I need no prize!
I do my work
in shitty heights.”
as she flew out of my sight
I understood that the world goes round
thanks to the flies
