ALTRUISIM
14 July 1986

She,
straining for his touch,
but
glad he had escaped,
used, unspiderlike,
all of her little mind
to keep her eight legs
from trapping
him.
He,
unaware
of her strength,
believed himself
to be
undesirable.

Giggles, Lee (I think I have your name right).  I suppose that is one way of looking at it!

Thanks Kate.

Although it wasn't my intention with this, to make anyone smile, I'm glad I made you do so . . . I guess.  Smiles.
