THE FLY
By MURRELL SMITH
Days on end the fly buzzes and buzzes against my window
pane knocking his head over and over in the presence
of a dim morning light;
In autumn his buzzing has a loneliness all its own, he revives
only in the warm afternoon until only the heavy eyes of
winter will stop him;
.All of life seems to rock lazily under the warmth of a pass
ing sun, the bright glow from the bay rocks on and on
• as it has for centuries;
People stroll down town some with burdens some light
hearted, humming as they stroll;
During the warm days he buzzes on and on.
A-thunderstorm crackles in the distance; soon a mist of rain
brushes my cheeks and soon lightning flashes over the
distances of all heaven -and earth:
By the whispering winds fine cords of golden threads weave
through the bay; billowing clouds play with the gem-like
coloring of the rainbow; as usual the fly buzzes until the
cool of the evening;
Early morning and the rain lies over everything but is soon
carried off; wings flutter in the endless vault of an apri
cot sky that is both yellow and refreshing;
All summer long I cut beautiful light green grass; no sooner
than I finish, it springs back up once again; each day I
see people that have stirred from a long night’s sleep;
they look both majestic and pure.
Every morning each person greets his companion with a
good morning;
Every evening each person greets his companion a good night.
Day by day and long into mellow autumn he buzzes.
At this time of year his buzzing has a loneliness about it;
in the warm afternoon he revives until at last the heavy
eyes of winter stops him forever—lamenting vbices from
j the darkness of the night drives through the air, down
the black streets—someone has lost, someone has won.
In the unceasing black threads that weave through the bay
• our fly twists and turns around and around as he squirms
away—someone has lost, someone has won.
•In each lover’s bed someone has lost, someone has won.
‘At the foot of Main Street .two weeping willows dream of
life beneath golden skies—in the pale yellow tinge of
; autumn—
At the end of the ball diamond a huge man plays basketball
with his only daughter —in the pale yellow tinge of
autumn—
By the Joseph Hewes Hotel a beautiful secretary picks up a
green pecan that fell from the weeping branches in the
pale yellow tinge of autumn.
Prom the burning skies all the world shatters into the setting
sun filled with fire—and love—
Slowly, oh, so slowly, a yellow rose-colored moon looks out
over the bay, and at the two weeping willows dreaming
of life—and over a squirming fly filled with night—
Across the golden surface little waves pass over a rough
shallow place, causing silver ripples—a fat white rat
with blue eyes and a faithless disposition that reminds
me of the integrity of mankind slithering under a vicious
rock—behind only a slimy matter remains—
At the foot of Main Street two sleepy weeping willows
dream of life beneath golden skies tinged with pale
yellow—in the bay a squirming fly filled with night.

Farm-City Week: Novem
ber 20-25 is Farm-City Week
in North Carolina. The pur
pose of this is to bring about
a better understanding and
relationship between our rural
people and urban people. In
Chowan County the income
from farmers is roughly
$10,000,000 and about the
same from industry. It has
been my experience that there
is an appreciation from mer
chants and non-farm group for
the farm group and this is
also true in that the rural
people appreciate the services
of the urban group. This is
a year-round feeling but this
week is set aside in order to
emphasize this relationship.
Ninth Grade—Randy Chap
pell, Melvin Evans, Melvin
Leary, Beth Boswell, Millie
Bunch, Pam Bunch, Melvin
Parks, Ronnie Nixon.

you don't recognize him this way,
his Christmas message is familiar:

THE OLD AND THE NEW: A new “miracle” rice seed, called IR-8, which more
than doubles a farmer’s harvest, is planted according to age-old Vietnamese,
methods. Accelerated rice production techniques combined with recent land refi
form legislation offers a new and hopeful future to the small Vietnamese farm
er. The scene here is the river valley of Vo Dat, about 75 miles east of Saigon,
where IR-8 rice was first introduced to Vietnam by the U.S. Agency for Inters
national Development (AID).
