“I thought to sweep the spider’s web aside so that I could weed the garden. But to destroy that which is beyond my ability to create for the singular purpose of securing my own convenience is the very kind of thing that’s destroying our world. Therefore, I worked around both spider and web, which made the garden an entirely better place.”

“Ode To A Spider's Web by Stewart Stafford

O to dwell in the skeletal palace,
Of the spider's ceiling cobweb and,
Spy on all as none can spy on you,
An arachnid deity astride the world.

Even with many eyes to see things,
It's blind to those monstrous features,
Nimble, lean legs, as wicked fingers,
Weave a webbed masterpiece home.

Outdone by his garden cousin's web,
With backlit, bejewelled beads of dew,
Undulating in a tepid, animating breeze,
The house spider is a satisfied squatter.
