lunch-ish time

by Fred Aiken

there’s a spider web on the back patio
that i notice while
making a pb&j with cinnamon raisin english muffin, because i didn’t buy regular bread at the store and the english muffin is technically past date, but doesn’t look moldy, so i figured it would be fine to slap some peanut butter and grape jelly on,
but i’m not sure if the spider agrees with my choice,
because it’s made itself scarce as i take the first bite
