SPIDER WEB


Poor spider

Where is your web? 

Eaten by the tangled mosquitoes? 

I saw a fly passing by

Did he carry your web away?

Don’t worry poor spider

I’ll weave a web for you

I’ll tie my dress across the bars of this cage.

 

I’m alone in this cage

Stay with me

I’m tired listening to my head talking to me

I want to talk to you

You see I’m not OK but I’m OK

My mother brings food three times a day.

 

I’m inviting you to dinner tonight

There’s only one spoon but you eat with your mouth 

So I don’t have to share it with you

You see I’m not OK but I’m OK    

Inside I can pee

See there’s a hole on the floor with a water cover

My brother or is he the brother of my sister? 

I’m not sure but he cleans this place every day.

 

I’ve not seen the sun but it’s not dark here

There’s a light bulb above us

They pulled the wire higher so I can’t reach it

I’ve not seen a match for a long time

But it doesn’t need a match so I’m not worried.

 

Have you seen a knife? 

I cut my hair with a knife

I comb my hair with my hands

They also took the mirror but I can see my pretty face

See?

Don’t be shy

Poor spider

You’re welcome here

Let’s talk.
