dinosaurs still roamed
the earth when i bought a single spider
plant at home depot. it was a whim, as if buying a
house-
plant could ever be anything else. without trying
very
hard, i've propagated it into a dozen hanging pots.
once or twice a week, i take them outside and
hook them on the pull-up bar, give them a
deep drink with garden hose set to mist,
shower them with compliments as i
primp and prune them. they're like
family--often taken for granted
but our love keeps growing.
