I saw a man on the rooftop
Although I’m certain he wasn’t a man
Or that it had a gender
It stalked down the rooftiles
A large
Thing
It frightened me
I’ve seen its like before
I can’t discount the medication
But I also can’t discount
My open neural pathways
Open to such encounters

The spider crawls
No, scurries
always in a hurry
to hide from this
Glass enclosure
unbeknown
I am here to save.
