{april haiku: propitiatory (rationalizations)}

Every Spring, I plan to be Zen, to be cool about the fact that I am the larger invader in the natural world, that spiders getting into my office is all part of the Circle of Life

Every year, I fail. Some years, spectacularly.

it was a reflex

unfortunate, whose
arachnid wanderings led
to your demise: oops

well, if you hadn’t appeared next to my hand

apologies, but
next to my flippin’ keyboard?
look, that’s way too close

what, you were going to JUMP on me? Nu-uh

next time, please just run
playing invisible is
futile. I SAW you
