People People
not I
never I
Why need external approval?
Crowding space
touching without emotion
herds gather at the meat market
this saturday night
to find pleasure for the night.
And maybe even the morning too.
Resisting pleasure has been my life,
but it is ineluctable:
I look for a wife
for only one night,
I can't bear to fight,
so when its light
I use my might
to instigate fright
and subsequently flight,
but I am too weak, too base...
So I never even join the herd.
I'll just sit on my sofa
and read a book, and dream that I,
a little fly, will never mate
until I die. Why?
Another life to bear the pain?
To suffer even in the rain.
Another life to have to struggle
just to stay alive only
to bring another life into
the same unceasing obedience?
I just can't bear to answer this question fully.
