DEAD FLY

Today a dead fly flew onto my keyboard. I didn’t kill it. My computer didn’t kill it. It just came to rest in the hinge at the base of this screen. I have since laid the corpse on the desk beside a quill from the shredded feather of a gull. Tomorrow, I shall find a fitting place to bury or cremate the dead fly. Harold Pinter, are you reading me?

    Yes. And no. But mostly in between.
