She asks me to kill the spider.
Instead I get the most
Peaceful weapons I can find.
I take a cup and a napkin.
I catch the spider, put it outside
and allow it to walk away.
If I am ever caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time just being alive
and not bothering anyone,
I hope I am greeted
with the same kind of mercy.

“A universe is, indeed, to be pitied whose dominating inhabitants are so unconscious and so ethically embryonic that
they make life a commodity, mercy a disease, and systematic massacre a pastime and a profession.”
