Does it bother you that you're not real?
It's raining again
I watch a tiny spider
With only seven legs
Drag his lopsided body
Across the slick concrete
I remember pulling the legs off spiders just like this one
When I was a little kid
He struggles to breach
A crack in the sidewalk
Eventually he falls in
His remaining legs flail
For a few long seconds
I remember feeling no remorse then
It's still raining
