I lean back in my chair
Sit and stare

WHAT WAS THAT!
Something catches my eye
I jolt back in fear, then just sigh

I look at the spider, the root of anxiety
The critter creeping and crawling ever so quietly

I watch and sit still
It waits on the window sill

Instinct inside says to end its existence
But value for life does not offer compliance

Though it is the source of caution and fear
I cannot help but stay near

And so I sit and stare
Lean back in my chair

WHAT WAS THAT!
The spider catches my eye
I jolt back in fear, then just sigh
