Fly Poem by johannes lewinsky

I released a fly that had taken refuge
In the cd compartment of my ghetto blaster
And wondered how it got in there
Was it drawn by the music - Schnittke's cello concerto
Or was it just an accident that it happened to alight
At the split second between
Inserting the disk and slamming shut the cover

Fly and i have no relation
but i cannot help thinking
fly and i have shared
A space and an inclination
i cannot share with any other
