"Lie Among Liars" December 1st, 2009

The spider's here
Watching
Waiting
Baiting
Catching
Learning to adapt to new friends and tricks
Lends web to the snake so it's prey trips
Flies with the owl, spinning it in till there's no way out,
Lets the tiger guide it along the chosen route,
Till that now chameleonic spider reveals itself again
And the prey's fear is the only sign of the venom setting in,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
No way for its pack to know that it's died,
Weapons won't hit what you won't witness,
Nothing will stop it, no matter how vicious,
The only way to escape your demise
Is to join the same view as its prismatic eyes,
Your life will be spared
When its vision is shared,
But left full of doubt
When you're left without
Any way to know that it's there.

Cats like to play with spiders.
