The Cycle of the Fly

A fly in the spring,
Is a colonist,
Is strong, sleek,
Nimble...
It must survive, to breed.

A fly in the summer
Lives in a Golden Age.
They are fat, strong,
And diverse.
It lives, without fear of starvation.

A fly in the fall
Lives in its decadence...
All the fruits are consumed,
It forgets how to forage
And is sluggish.
It dies, while the strongest survive to reseed the next generation.
