IN MY COCOON OF QUIETUDE.

As to be of loud company in a small
Cocoon of quietude,
The fly takes its sojourn promptly
Over tables of silvery metal surface,
Then casually flies onto my arm...
without a drop of purpose,
Not taking to liking the taste of my
sleeve,
Buzzing off snootily finding pieces
of cake crumb to inspect and munch
perched on a child's metal seat;
Maybe through the fly's thousand
eyes... people mill around liken
to some thousand chinese dolls
On this sun-drenched afternoon
Interrupting my space teasing all
sense of quietude by nauseating
Incessant buzzing;
Happily playing the lounge as people
wave it on as its innocence of being a
nuisance keeps its tune humming...
until the bell for its life finally tolls!
