Wondering the Why

Equipped with wings too frail to fly
Or so it seems to such as I
He settles on the best.
Soundlessly, compellingly shy.
Inspecting low, rejecting  high,
Finds perfect place to rest.

"Tis only man who needs a map
From a computer on his lap,
To find his unmarked way.
The fly has his instincts to tap,
To lead him to the sweetest sap
For a productive stay.
