Flying Lesson

Fly in midflight
struck my computer monitor
and fell to his back
on the desk before me
at my mercy
and I raised my hand
to strike him where he lay
buzzing on his back
frantic and fighting to right himself
but I held back
and watched
even encouraging in my own way
"get up, dummy"
which he did
grabbing ahold of a random object
brought his wings back on top
and flew off to the lampshade
and I think maybe
now this is what I need
just
to get my wings back on top
