An agitated fly is buzzing my window
it can’t comprehend the impossible.
..........................But it’s a fly,
............................and can’t lose hope.
It knows not the futility of its efforts
as it doggedly pursues its freedom.
For reality lies beyond its reach,
comprehension’s an invisible barrier.
........Stubbornness or perseverance
........which motivator fuels it?
..........................It sees no glass,
............................and yet, it’s there.
