lyrics

Trans-Dimensional Spider

Slow day at work.
No customers.
I stand at the cash register, on duty,
smoking, drinking espresso,
trying to get a good caffeine buzz going,
when I notice this small spider,
about the size of the fingernail
on my pinkie, crawl out
from under a book of matches.

It’s kind of cute,
I think,
furry,
the hue of milk chocolate,
friendly too.

It raises one leg at me
as if to say,
“hello, have a nice day,“
or perhaps,
“good-bye, been good to know ya,”
for in a blink,
it’s gone,
as if it exited via a door
hinged on thin air.

I stand back,
scratch my head and think -
damn, if I knew in advance
that flashbacks
were going to be so goddamn friendly,
I would have dropped
far more acid
when I was a kid.
