Out the back smoking a cigarette, thinking about moths
The fly zapper looks like a hologram from here.
I can nearly hear the zzzt from the light.
That one was definitely a moth.
I love how it's become a cliche for humans
to imagine moths want to fly to the sun,
like evolution wouldn't have sorted that already.
I’m sure there will be one or two that still go but
they must have some form of discipline by now.
Maybe they have ultrasonic old wives tales
or an Icarus pheromone. Don’t go to the sun,
that's where you go when you die. That's where I'll go.
