who will kill the spider?

who will kill the spider?
a black bean
with slender legs,
crawling beneath the couch.
who will fetch
the spray
or broom, or a long stick
handy.
perhaps a cane
or crutch will do.
how about that shoe?
or should we let her live
and go about
her way, spinning her
strong and sticky web
for catching flies, or
or other such prey.
