Whar the hell ya think yare going not that he expected an answer
the spider an appleseed wannabe stopped
in midsteps its
got eight legs

showed him six palms handsup asif Don
shoot sheriff
anytime he catches a spider working
its way along the cleavage of the ceiling and wall on invisible skeins towards
the shower out of appleseeds distant corner above the sink he halts them
Stand down bucko reverse field
maybe theyre following her latent pheromones or graffiti she scribbled she
tried committing suicide three timesthree
times he thwarted herblotted her up off the tub bottom with a quicktorn scrap of
toilet paper and set her right sideup on the window ledge under the sun under
the screen to dry and unbind her lengthy legs gams appleseed was a huge
daddylonglegs
he or she brought his or her
hands down slowly
and asif he or she understood him they reversed themselves and wanderedsauntered
back to the revampedrestitchedrehung web
he liked their cocky sauntering
gamely showing him their spinnerets returning to the web was their idea he just
happened to finish his showerpulled the curtain back as they were gallivantingNothing

however for him looking to the wall above
the doorway into the corner was a kneejerk reaction
NO
