past tense of spun

webs

worldwide or not

they have involved us in them

never actually going together

as prey or predator

keeping it up for nothing but life

killer or not

pulsing or not

together or apart

alive and soon to be dead

it’s a rough ride and a familiar one, like the whole thing is being piloted by an 11 year old and the only thing they know is

climate control

once an amenity

now an impact intensifier

like ‘why is the air conditioning on?’

no one notices because we are in reverse, not driving on

once we span,

span out of our heads

spanned a legacy, a lifetime, always honoring

on honoring there would be gathering

and gathering we do for the future

collective like linkage one link a personal infinity, but funny thing is I have an affinity for chains

when they bind me to choices

I have thoughtfully made.
