seems they want more	A
it seems almost as if they	B
are angry	C
that they are flies	D
it is not my fault	E
I sit in the room	F
with them	G
and they taunt me	C
with their agony	C
it is as if they were	H
loose chunks of soul	I
left out of somewhere	J
I try to read a paper	H
but they will not let me	C
be	C
one seems to go in half circles	K
high along the wall	L
throwing a miserable sound	M
upon my head	N
the other one the smaller one	O
stays near and teases my hand	P
saying nothing	Q
rising dropping	Q
crawling near	R
what god puts these	S
lost things upon me	C
other men suffer dictates of	T
empire tragic love	T
I suffer	H
insects	U
I wave at the little one	O
which only seems to revive	V
his impulse to challenge	W
he circles swifter	H
nearer even making	Q
a fly sound	M
and one above	T
catching a sense of the new	X
whirling he too in excitement	Y
speeds his flight	Z
drops down suddenly	C
in a cuff of noise	A2
and they join	B2
in circling my hand	P
strumming the base	C2
of the lampshade	P
until some man thing	Q
in me	C
will take no more	A
unholiness	C2
and I strike	D2
with the rolled up paper	H
missing	Q
striking	Q
striking	Q
they break in discord	P
some message lost between them	G
and I get the big one	O
first and he kicks on his back	E2
flicking his legs	C2
like an angry whore	A
and I come down again	F2
with my paper club	G2
and he is a smear	R
of fly ugliness	C2
the little one circles high	H2
now quiet and swift	P
almost invisible	I2
he does not come near	R
my hand again	F2
he is tamed and	P
inaccessible I leave	J2
him be he leaves me	C
be	C
the paper of course	C2
is ruined	P
something has happened	P
something has soiled my	H2
day	P
sometimes it does not	P
take man	K2
or a woman	O
only something alive	V
I sit and watch	L2
the small one	O
we are woven together	H
in the air	J
and the living	Q
it is late	P
for both of us	C2
