Huh
was sitting on the pothad decided not to
let liknowleum have their way with himaverted his eyes raised them up and saw no daddylonglegs fat chanceno chance they were spawn of
appleseed who she remained his steadfastcompanion for more than
a year through a bleak winter before surreptitiouslystealthily disappearing not a goodbye
breaking his heart into tiny pieces
seeing none in the bathroom he ventured
throughout the house only to discover one where
usually they proliferatedfreaked out his granddaughters Momma!
Why does Grampa have spiders in his house? Why do human beings prevail eradicate murder insects
who are beneficial only living their
lives not interrupting theirs
he found one
in the bedroom above the head of the bed where on cold evenings he ran an electric blanket
had to believe radiant heat
appleseed was hardier
stayed
tucked in the corner between the wall and ceiling above the sink that said he was struggling and throughout that winter
he took three hot baths a day to keep functioning
bathroom door closed
was pretty steamy
could be why she stuck around
no matter she was a comfort during his abject discomfort
