Allowable by Nikki Giovanni
I killed a spider
Not even a murderous one
Not even a black widow
And if truth were told this
Was only a small
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didn’t
And she scared me
And I smashed her

I don’t think
I’m allowed
To kill something

Because I am

Frightened
