Wolf spider in the kitchen sink this morning. I had just emptied a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into a glass and was about to put it under the faucet, to dilute it, when I saw it. Threw the vinegar at it, thinking it would shrivel -- but that only made it stronger! Watched in catatonic horror as it climbed the side of the sink so it could jump at the hair at the back of my neck. Attacked it with the handled pot scrubber, but it took refuge in the bristles. Eventually got it down the sink, in pieces. Brrrrrrr! A sign of changing weather. Autumn's First Spider and other poems.
