I feel a slight touch on my arm and look down
and………….it’s a spider
Despite the heavy circumstances in my life and a
migraine weighing me down
I fly to my feet and spin around trying to dislodge
the creature that is much more nimble than I am
I try leaping as each joint in my body complains,
I try flicking it off, but as we are both moving, 
it evades me and continues to run down my bare arm
I rush to the door and fling it open and continue
my graceless dance on the porch as the neighborhood
begins to wake up for the day, I am pretty sure I am
yelling at this point and I feel sweet relief as the
eight legged arachnid jumps from me to the porch railing
as I sigh and begin to realize where I am and who else
is present.  I wave to my neighbor and say a chipper
“good morning” as my face floods with color and I realize 
I am acting very odd, but to be honest, who cares?
The spider and I are both safe it’s not crawling on me
anymore.  I sigh and begin my day, hopefully without
encountering any more of God’s eight legged creatures.
