hed concede a wee spider
the concession coming from wanting
to remarkSing Itsy-Bitsy Spider
the song his wife sang to their girls
he
couldnt do it justice so didnt
a rustcoloured wee spider he
found in the unwashed cereal bowl he left beside the kitchen sink last night
he
forget to eat
woke in the middle of
the night hungry interesting experience unlike waking to use the bathroom or starting
from a dream a dream not a nightmare he didnt believe in nightmares any more than
he believed in evil a dreams a
dream evil is bad he coudnt abide its religious connotationassociation so nixed it
plain old Cheerios splash of milk
easily digestible set the bowl aside the
tablespoon in the sink wasnt a cereal bowl
a serving bowl
he hadnt eaten
the spider played dead as he went
to pickup the bowl to wash it with the dishes he fed the cats with this morning
O
hello wha
he woud give if one day a bug replied or
a cat squirrel mouse boid hummer lizard skink vulture hawk he didnt talk to dogs
it quit playing dead ran up a
side slid down up down up down Easy friend mean you no harm down up down
up he couldnt blame it
picking up the bowl he went to
take it outside up down updowning the whole way through the livingroom through
the screendoor onto the front porch
Mebbe Ill see ya again sometime he tipped the bowl the spider slid onto the
drink rail and to his freak it didnt set a nanosecondhurled itself from the rail
onto the redwood porch threeanahaf feet he likened it to him leaping from atop a
highrise a juicy skinbag of blood and bone make a splash a Rorschach forsure
little voice in his head
giggled
We can do without tha
then it said Exoskeleton
Yah
Weighs next to nothing
Yah
It didnt plummet
No
Glad you didnt scream like a
little girl
Yah a couple times he has voice almost disowned him
