Contemplation of a Fly

I see a fly going about his business
ignoring me

until I try to swat him and he
escapes me

I wonder if other then when I
attack him

if he has any kind of awareness
of me

I wonder if his lifespan of 50 days is like
my 79

I just read to my surprise that a fly has
a brain

Now I wonder if a fly is smarter than humans who do
stupid things
