+```
+Whenever I stay still,
+ I feel the spiders weave their webs around me.
+ Their tiny legs entangle me in silk,
+ traverse my body as they seem to proudly
+ inspect their work and into darkness sink.
+
+
+ There're times I see the spiders' threads on others,
+ They shimmer gently in the purple dusk,
+ Or sway with zephyrs in the hair of lovers,
+ stuck.
+
+ To listen to the webs is to hear echoes
+ of social butterflies ensnared within
+ arachnid galleries of human ethos,
+ whose pieces come and go upon a whim.
+
+ Their curators are blind and want for stories,
+ delivered as vibrations through the links,
+ for righteous anger, anguish, joy and worries,
+ superimposing frequencies that mix,
+ reveberating through the sprawling complex
+ of radial lines and newly captured prey,
+ resisting first but ultimately hopeless,
+ these signals grow in urgency and they
+ form standing waves that make the victims sing
+ and even from myself bring out a resonant ring.
