I hate you too U2 (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
A spider
Long-legged and hairy
Crawled up the back of
my leg
my neck
my head
And it forced its tingling body
Far into the depths of my ear
Now shivering
I shake tears from my swollen eyes
As I feel his footsteps
Send a loud spidery beat
Throughout my sinuses
My brain
As the lump in my throat tightens
I press my pinkie finger
Into the canal
And I feel a wetness
The crunch of spider flesh
A shattered exoskeleton
And no way to get it out
Then
Out of nowhere comes Bono
With his wailing notes
And I cry again
Only this time in horror
Disgust
Pain
