Two Poems about Spiders

Apparently I have more than one.

Dear Spiders,

Thank you for building your webs just out of reach so I
don’t have to cut through them every night, swinging my arms
like a planet twirling off-axis.

Tomorrow, a cosmic classic is happening, and if you like, we can
watch it on my front stoop. I’ll find the handle of the
Big Dipper and point my binoculars at it.

We can watch…
