I stare out the window,
just like every other day.
The blues come by to give me candy.
The whites come to pick my brain.
I tell them about my friends,
like the spider in the corner,
and the ants on the window,
and the butterflies outside.
The butterflies tell me the weather;
today it is sunny and hot.
The ants tell me to leave them crumbs;
today it is hot apple pie.
The spider doesn’t say a word;
she eats my bugs, my dreams.
The spider is my sinister friend.
Below is the window I pictured in my mind while writing this. I picture the ants as being in a long line, marching across the window sill, the spider sitting in its web in the corner, and the butterflies flitting around outside, occasionally landing on a branch near the window to "talk" to the girl.
