So, it's Fly Season again…
This time, I want to try
a passive defence:
While reading or working
Online, sitting Outside,
I don't want to be dis-
crafted…
Just saw the web site of
a short-lived. Beekeeping-
attire vendor, & decided
to look around for some
veils with a short-cylin-
drical shadecloth (with round hats in-
side)
Little Fly
Thy summer's play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?For I dance
And drink & sing;
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.If thought is life
And strength & breath;
And the want
Of thought is death;Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.

I heard a Fly buzz - when I died - (591)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air -
Between the Heaves of Storm -
The Eyes around - had wrung them dry -
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset - when the King
Be witnessed - in the Room -
I willed my Keepsakes - Signed away
What portion of me be
Assignable - and then it was
There interposed a Fly -
With Blue - uncertain - stumbling Buzz -
Between the light - and me -
And then the Windows failed - and then
I could not see to see
for small flies
Velcro?
All camping shops sell fly nets to fit over a hat and different types of hats with built-in fly netting.
I work outdoors a lot in rural areas - I would go stark raving mad in summer without a fly net on my head.
Something Like Bee-Keepers Wear, for Small Flies
I had no idea Small Flies wanted to beecome Apairists…
Is dis-crafted when a craftsman breaks something he has made?
It's when you go to buy a chair and a hipster woodworker gives you a bunch of branches and charges your a premium…
This gives me an idea for farmers markets…
I've found that either buttons or zips work OK for small flies.

Haven’t we all been there before, metaphorically.
I know I have!
Many times I've pondered
Why, oh why, doesn't
OzBargain have a
poetry forum?
In reality I would create something like a day bed mosquito net arrangement. Who wants to read through a mesh veil.
It's called
A CORK
HAAT!
LOOK IT
Google would have been quicker than raising this forum post
