    Mimesis

    My daughter
    wouldn’t hurt a spider
    That had nested
    Between her bicycle handles
    For two weeks
    She waited
    Until it left of its own accord

    If you tear down the web I said
    It will simply know
    This isn’t a place to call home
    And you’d get to go biking

    She said that’s how others
    Become refugees isn’t it?
