she watched the spider climb the wall
she watched the spider rest
she watched the spider wait and wait
for the fly that looked the best

she watched the fly zip to and fro
she watched house fly land
she watched the fly just fly away
as he didn’t understand

she watched a porcelain plate be empty
she watched a plate just wait for food
she watched a plate just wait and wait
and never know the food

she watched a spider climb down a wall
she watched a spider leave
she watched a spider’s web alone
and ponder what to believe
