Drosophila's Eden

When the top came off the Sherry Bottle
It revealed paradise
For fruit flies. In some unguarded moment
Amorous adventures led a young couple
To this Eden. They lived in opulence
Proliferated in their dim Utopia
Knowing nothing but a carnival of alcohol
And the safe confines of towering glass
The riches, the Tang, rotting sugar and gas.
