I have a heart that keeps on pumping
pumping
pumping
pumping
pumping
i am tired
yet it pumps
relentlessly
never slowing down to take a break
why?
why won't my heart stop beating?
I sang a song to the spider in my bathroom;
it appeared out of the drain.
Is that where spiders are born?
In the sink drain,
where all the hair collects and makes a nest?
I ran to clutch my instrument!
Guest in the bathroom!
Sang a little love song as it climbed the wall
with my foot on the counter
as if I were serenading the guest.
The spider stopped after a little bit
as I finished the song.
Soon I took a bow and left the spider I loved
on my blue bathroom wall.
Left to learn a new song,
so that maybe tomorrow I can entertain another guest.
