doorbell

two wires
stick out of a wall
front legs
of a giant spider
almost comical

four legs
buried in the wall
forelegs
stick out
wiggling

two large eyes
follow you
around the room
fixed to the wall
fixed on you

two wires
poke out of a wall
intruding, disturbing
two wires
of a door bell

shiny metal
completes the circuit
and shuts out
the eyes
that constantly watch

box them all up
into the wall, sealed
along with everything else
get used to the ringing
till it no longer alarms.
