bad idea

late night climbing onto suitcases
with wad of paper in hand
prepared to attack spider
that has crawled onto ceiling

inevitable:
suitcase slipping out from under feet
falling flat on bum
"ouuuuuuuuuucccccccchhhhhhhhhhh!"
Hillery yelling from late night homework-doing
"What happened?!"
No response.
Spider not dying from attack-
but hurrying near one of the many
still unpacked boxes
finding the only shoe I can wear
because hot oil landed on my foot friday
and then whacking spider
thrown in trash with original,
useless wad of paper
