An Apology
April 8, 2014
I shouldn't have just left,
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?
