Winter Window Fly

He can see all of nature through the glass
I see him and think, poor fly.
If I opened the window and let him out
like he thinks he wants
he'd die so soon in the cold and snow.
If he only knew
if he flew back around the house
there's probably more in here for him
little bits of sugar and garbage
that we don't even see.
But he'd die soon anyway, right?
Would he be happier, or live any longer
Whether or not he gets what he thinks he wants?
