An Apology, April 8, 2014

An Apology
           April 8, 2014

I shouldn't have just left,
    but I wasn't sure what to do
         No surprise that you are gone
               but I'm rather sure you are out there still
                                              I doubt the delivery person
                                                 would have given you a thought,
                                                          a mere speck in your tiny orb
                                                              When the mailbox lid came down,
                                                                       I think you were clear although
                                                                             of course your web would have
                                                                                        suffered the consequences
                                                                                            need it be eaten as a source of protein?
                                                                                        Is it exhausting, the re-spinning?
                                                                                             I would like to talk with you.
                                                                                                  How many spinnerets do you have?
                                                                                                            Could you really have crawled
 from the sea to land 100 million years ago?
 
I thought you amazing from the first,
wonder how far you might have gotten
  The environment seems friendly, but
what do I know, what do you find friendly?
 
If I see you, of course, I won't know it's you.
         Will you know it's me?
