How many spiders can you fit on a pin? The tsunami
\ntook the angels out ages ago and now we have them,
\nwasps, coquis and us. There are two spots of light, bright
\nspiders, smaller than dust on the tomato plant grown
\nfrom seed, each red fruit bottom-rot, no matter
\nhow I water it. Now there are four, no five, they rise
\non the wave of a breeze, their webs new and quivering.
\nThey cross and lift, flying the invisible line of themselves.
\nHow are there enough insects to share? The wasps hump
\nour dinner meat like it\u2019s the best lay of their life. The coquis
\nscream at night in their densely populated cities: yelling
\nfor pleasure or loneliness, not understanding that the space
\nis shared. But the spiders are everywhere, in every space
\nuntil we, the humans, covered in bright welts die off,
\nand everything else survives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
