big bright green spider on my drivers-side window- you held me hostage *** Poetry notes: 5/21/2018 I parked my car and there's a stare down between me and spidey. I didn't know when I opened the door if it would drop inside the car (not good) or outside (preferable). I was only held hostage for 3 or so minutes until I made my move. Success! Both of us walked away from the car in different directions :)

The scary part is when you see the spider while driving - that's happened to me, lucky I didn't have an accident - great haiku, Mark-

I know, right? So, I park my car and there's a stare down between me and spidey. I didn't know when I opened the door if it would drop inside the car (not good) or outside (preferable). I was only held hostage for 3 or so minutes until I made my move. Success! Both of us walked away from the car in different directions :) Thanks, Line.
