fuck you, spider

fuck you, spider
where do you come from?
with your fat hairy body
and your thick chittering legs
though I cannot hear you
I always swear I can
but I can see you
out of the corner of my eye
not content with ceiling
floor
or wall
but grasping balls
larger than your exoskeleton
of intimidation
dangle on your threads
above my eye in dark
only seen by contrast
in lighted laptop glow
so that your
incessant
wiggling
with luck
alerts me to your plan
to land on my face
like your friends like to do
perhaps vengeance
for your fellows' screaming deaths
what's that you say
a spider cannot scream
that's surely so
but I can
and flail their doom at them
in darkened room
while flustered fingers
claw my phone
the flashlight app
too near the camera found
I don't want its bloody picture
fuck this
I've got a lamp
my dear rabbit
sweetest rave
forgive the light
and all the flailing
I'll stop the screaming
please
just kill it
no
all the way
deader
deader
please
I think it's dead now
thank you
go back to sleep
it's all okay
and I will join you...
in three more hours or so
