SPIDER

The guy who lives with me has been photographing a spider living below the bedroom window. Some people accuse him of making a pet of it, especially when it moved too close to the stairway for comfort and I threatened to use a broom on it. He carefully took a stick and put it back in its old web.

Today we come in and he's horrified to see a lizard lurking below the web. "That lizard ate my spider!"

Hmmm. I hope so. "Maybe not."

"It ate it! It looks full!"

Go, you lizard. Then I look up. "It's moved."

Now it's under the eaves by the window. Someone scared away the lizard. I wonder who. Sigh.
