Anthony

I’m sorry I did it

You came crawling along my shoe and i flicked

you with my left index finger,

right into the spinney fingers of the hungry spider.

You don’t belong to the same laws, logic or reasoning that I do.

I don’t know if you have a family or if you will be missed or even noticed.

I thought the same thing just the other night at work, this time when I stood on a snail.

My walk to the smoking shelter had indeed been the walk of the executioner

I only realised when I heard the cracking of shell underfoot.

But you Ant, or did you prefer Anthony?

You I flicked because you annoyed me,

it was my house you crawled in to.

It was my dirty Nike trainer that you decided to treat like an assault course.

But if a human did that would i throw him into the cage with the Lions?

Probably.
