The Summer of Flies or: The Flies of Summer

Strange, isn’t it,
When you have
Less butterflies,
You have more flies,
in a season?

Should I be worried,
Singularly, signed off by lies?

Ha! Of course not! Yes?
It’s a sign of the Times,
Less bothersome than rhymes,
More a friend of – ‘gone bys’,
Skin-kissed by fly feet….

Strange, isn’t it,
The amount of flies,
This summer,
Touching our skins,
without reason?

An observation of note!

For us, in SoCal it is the ant, like the relentless invasion of wetbacks into this country, and also the pernicious and ouchful wasp.

Everything is changing, in the large spectrum, and in the smaller ones.

Let us dance to the re-wiring of corporeal circuits, and the passing of seasons. For as Bob Zimmerman sang: "for the times they are a-changin!"

The invasion of the fly. You weave a scary scenario about the nasty little things, enough so that I got an itchy feeling. Down here in South Lousiana where I live we DO NOT HAVE FLIES this year! Unbelievable. I suppose those two storms last year did something to them and sent them other places, like where you live. LOL No mosquitoes to speak of either.
