English 100
by Danielle Ernst
I'm watching spider webs blow in the wind
criss-crossing the corner of the open window
Trying to think of something to write
There's nothing important
Just a lazy Friday afternoon ahead
I wanted to go
And nap at the park
in some shady spot in the grass
After class
But he forgot to bring a blanket
So maybe we'll just sit in the car
Listen to the radio
Talk about
Life
For an endless hour
But for now
It can wait
I have to first examine all
Of the places the paint's chipped off the wall
Another breeze
There goes that spider web again
Someone wrote their name here on the window sill
and drew a little mushroom beneath it
Then a squeak of the door and the professor walks in
I glance back at the window
And just like my train of thought
The spider web
is broken
