A Spider in the Sink

It’s outpatient surgery
and she’s running late
trying to catch a spider
 
in the kitchen sink.
Wants to carry it outside
before her boyfriend wakes
 
and crushes it.
Then she has a long drive
to the clinic and hopes
 
this will be her last visit.
Her boyfriend lied
about having
 
that procedure.
She found out the hard way,
shouldn’t have let him back in.
