to squish or let live, that's the question

it's a decision i need to make,

watching

the large

black spider crawl

between the sheers

and the glass,

whether to let him or her

live,

or to use a shoe,

or a toxic spray to end

it's simple life.

where there's one, perhaps

there's many.

maybe this book i'm

reading,

or a rolled-up magazine

will suffice.

somedays decisions

are easy to make

and other days

for some reason,

they're harder.
