flies of summer

flies of summer
you might live longer
if you'd stop buzzing
I wrote this, or a version of it, a couple of summers ago. It's been gathering dust ever since, but "buzz" reminded me of it, so I thought I'd trot it out.

Thanks, floots, vaughn, and polona. You know what they [used to?] say in Hollywood: If you want to send a message, call Western Union.

- A short set of buzzing, by Bill. Fascinating!

If I am buzzing
I'm still living
strong!
