Caught Between Chopsticks

What is tomorrow,

but a buzzing fly?

A short-lived traveler, rubbing his legs together,

and vomiting over the treasures he finds-

only to flee at the sight of a shadow.

An elusive and invisible fly,

perpetually circling around your head,

a buzzing halo that floats above you,

announcing "I'm here! I'm here!" without ever dipping into your line of sight.

A tiny fly that freely wizzes past,

a content pest, living simply and instinctually,

a miniature bug

that could be crushed by a single newspaper.
