Zeno and the Black Fly

Zeno shouldn’t worry when he goes out.
The fly can’t reach him with its biting snout.
It can come half way, and half way more,
Then it’s defeated by halves galore.

Zeno’s notion is no paradox,
It’s a fallacy that the fly unlocks:
It lands, it bites, it leaves red welts,
Because Zeno is halfway to somewhere else.
