he may

there's a fly that's been buzzing in my room for the last few days.
i've never seen him stop and rest. he just keeps on buzzing.
he flies straight as an arrow for a random period of time then abrubtly changes directions in a split second and flies straight as an arrow in the new direction for a random period of time.
he does this constantly never leaving a the space at the center of my room underneath the light.
i watch him sometimes for just a few moments and i wonder if he's getting tired. or hungry. i think he must be. he never stops and there can't be much for a fly to eat in my room anyway.
but he continues to buzz around in his randomly methodical patterns.

today i saw my fly friend sitting on the door frame of my bathroom. just sitting in complete absence of motion. if the details of his legs, wings, eyes, and body weren't so intricate, i would have guessed he was fake. i watched him for a moment wondering if he was down there in his fly world panting, trying to catch his breath. then a moment later he was gone.
