I killed a spider Not a murderous brown recluse Nor even a black widow And if the truth were told this Was only a small Sort of papery spider Who should have run When I picked up the book But she didn’t And she scared me And I smashed her

I don’t think I’m allowed

To kill something

Because I am

Frightened

—Nikki Giovanni, Allowables




Thank you for sharing, Chevara Orrin
