Daddy Long Legs

     So, over the weekend, I'm out movin' around, doin' what I do on the weekends- stayin' in constant motion, bein' careful to not  accomplish too much.  (If you actually "accomplish" too much, in too short a period of time, then you limit your future options.  The best tack is to start as many things as come to mind, then leave them is various states of  incompletion.  This way, your options forward are nearly limitless.)

     But, I digress.

     So, I'm movin' through the garage and some motion catches my eye: low on the wall, nearly on the floor.  I look down an see a pair of daddy long legs, their spindly legs entangled, their tiny oval-shaped primary bodies touching.  My initial reaction is to look away, embarrassed.  (I thought they might be doin' it.)  Then, mammal reason/curiosity gets the best of me, and I am compelled to look closer.  After a two second study, I realize that this is a conflict.  A conflagration. 

     This begged a plethora, (yes, I used that), of questions.

     First, what do a couple of spindly spiders have to fight about?  A girlfriend?  What could she be that's worth fightin' for?  Gotta be as ugly as they are.  In fact, gotta be exactly as ugly as they are.  They all look the same, right?  Wait a minute- is this a couple males fightin', or a couple females mix in' it up?  Or, is this a primal "domestic" dispute?  Is there even such a thing?  You know it ain't a fight over "stuff".  These are spiders.  And like most bugs, they would be considered poor, due to their lack of possessions.  (An't got no house.  Ain't even got pockets.)

     That brings us back to the basic point:  Maybe spiders don't need a good reason, or even a bad one.  Maybe they would fight simply because they're in the same place at the same time.  Maybe it's in their nature.  The only way I can stop the confrontation would be to crush them both.  An incredibly simple solution.  Then again, it ain't really none of my business.  So, if this be the case, then the identity of the victor is inconsequential.

                                                                                                                                         Fish
