The
fly
also
stood still,
next to the door,
with its many eyes
watching the trees move quickly by.
The train guard moved through the carriage collecting the fares.
Passengers grumbled under their breath,
reluctant to pay.
The fly buzzed
away
from
him
then
got
off at
the next stop,
before the train guard
had a chance to check its ticket.
