Penalty

(This is Fiction)

There are usually a lot of things I should’ve done,
yet, this very moment, I’m thinking of just one.

I should’ve sent a check to pay the electric bill;
I could’ve seen the spider perched on the windowsill.

I couldn’t turn the light on, the room was hot ‘n stuffy.
Now, my poor, bitten hand is red, painful and puffy.
