There’s a spider living in my sink
She’s better at living than that other spider in my other sink
We have an agreement, she leaves me enough space to do dishes and I leave her alone to live in my sink
I just can’t take her out of the only home she’s ever known
I didn’t know she was a she until she made an egg sac
I watched it and wondered if I should do something about it but I couldn’t bring myself to break her hard work
She built it safe, up on the counter between the wall and a cup
Tiny babies came out
I guess they live in my house now too
Keeping in mind I can only fight people on the internet
I really am an ineffectual nothing
But the least I can do is provide housing to other creatures
I can’t bring myself to harm another
If I was a wild thing I would probably die
Anyhow I exist
