The Solution (a poem by Laura Casal)

He says,

Here's the problem:
A train is traveling 100 miles an hour towards a wall.
There is a fly between the train and the wall.
The fly gets to the wall before the train.
So,
How fast was the fly going?

She says,

Doesn't matter.
The fly dies.

He says,

You didn't solve the problem.

She says,

The problem is the fly died,
not the speed.

He says,

I don't agree.

She says,

That's the problem.
