There is a spider in my bathroom
She picked an awful spot
at the corner
where the shower meets the floor
and the wall
Location location location
There really is nothing
prey-wise
that goes near there
now that the ant traps are set
still, she has located herself there
built a web
and hangs
waiting for the tremor in the line
that will never come
or will it?
This morning I caught a fly
which is really quite easy
once you realize that they leap up
straight away from whatever they are perched on
just grab the air above their head
Once the fly was in my hand
I looked at the spider
she looked hungry
and since the fly was doomed anyway
I bounced it off the floor into her web
Then, watching the care
and finesse she had
preparing her meal,
I named her Julia
