Humor me, If I spread my arms and lean
Over -- will I fly like a flag or
Plunge to my death
Either way, I can't not try.

Spiders
I have a spider in my shower. I have taken a shower in there three times despite this knowledge and it haunts me between each drop of water, each brush against the wall or showerhead. I do not know where it lurks. I saw it once and since then it has maintained a steady hidden location, to which my eyes only half-heartedly search.
