They call me Nobody.
Flies are a nuisance, but useful ... they feed birds and lizards ... they just annoy the hell out of us.
But rather a regular fly than those damn blackflies that drive moose crazy.
We probably should remember we all become cadavers ... some even end up in medical classes. I believe my daughter's team called theirs Fred.
Even Beethoven de-composed at the end.

This reminds me of a scene from a recent war motion picture from ww1 I can’t recall the name it’ll come
Of maybe soldiers being gunned down alone a long way from home alone lying there dying taking last breaths what went through their minds omg I don’t know
This poem reflects to me how we come me into world alone leave alone taking nothing bringing nothing
Very good Jacob
I’ll recall picture soon 🔜 we hopes !

Hello, Jacob! :)
If I were a fly, I’d keep coming back, because your heart stinks exquisitely.

dearest Jacob... your words have me feeling
like the "Moody Blues". Wrap me up in swaddling clothes
and tuck me in an air-tight Box... when I pass away...
with poems in my heart forever and a day. truly, Pat
