In the library, a fruit fly buzzed around,
I searched for Hox genes, but answers weren’t found,
Proboscipedia? Labial? Which one could it be?
A cough, a groan, and the fly stirred from its seat.

Fruit fly!

My heart leaped with joy,
Trembling with excitement, my emotions employed,
This feeling that I have, I cannot explain,
Not even with jewels that sparkle and gleam.

Since that day, in the library, I search and I seek,
For the fruit fly that captured my heart, unique and sleek.

图书馆的果蝇

这不可能是hox gene!
——我焦头烂额的寻找
哪个是proboscipedia? 哪个是labial?
一声咳嗽，一阵呻吟
惊醒座位上潜藏的果蝇

果蝇！

我一阵惊喜，
发抖的高兴
这是一种感情，
即使用漫山遍野的宝石
也不能诱使我定义
从此我日夜在图书馆寻找
那位心上的果蝇
