MAYFLY


David B. McCoy


��As a boy, I spent summers at a camp located on a small lake in Indiana. Every year near the end of July, the camp was covered with mayflies. I admired how they clung to the sides of cabins with their fragile see-though wings and long, stringy tails.

��On one nature hike, we learned how the adult mayfly has a non-working mouth and dies soon after mating. The oldest kid from my cabin, who was routinely caught masturbating after “lights out,” leaned over and said, “Far Out! Sex and death. The only two things in life that really count.”

��I was too young then not to believe him.
