Unkind

Poor Daddy Long Legs scuttles about
the bathroom, looking for the exit.
Meanwhile, Wingy Bug of undetermined species
emerges from Daddy's same hiding spot.

We scoop Daddy into a cup,
carefully sliding a paper under him,
and carry him outside to safety--
a home with a garden view.

I stomp Wingy with my sneaker
and tissue up the black smudge.
I've got limited reserves of kindness,
and Daddy outranked the little dude.
