A housefly lives 15 to 30 days.
I wonder if to that fly
those 15 to 30 days
seem like 65 to 95 days
in a human’s life.
But doubtlessly it
fares better in its old age
than humans do.
I’ve never seen a housefly
in a wheelchair, using a cane
or on a walker.
And I’m reasonably sure
it doesn’t have senior moments
or end up in a nursing home.
