world wide web.

Here I am on this spider web
my arms sprawled against the sticky sticky strings
the beast with the fangs heaving in the corner
I want to pull and tug and thrash
he'll feel me moving
he'll feel me moving then wrap me up
then eat me
I can feel him looking at me
he's waiting, I know
he'll eat me
I can't move
I can barely breathe
perhaps I'll sleep to pass the time
I'll just think of something else
why try
there he is
ready to pounce, ready to eat
stay still darling
stay still
do not move
sleep
pretend
do not move.


stay and "live."
Or jump.
and live.
