ARANEAE VITA

Araneae Vita 

Plans fall 
like a spider 
with no tail spin 

no net 

and all the arms 
in the octo kingdom 
can’t make a purchase 

no catcher on the fly 

We all risk jumping 
We all risk wandering 

We all want to hunt 
We all want to be the wolf 

We become the recluse 
the widow of our dreams

  1. Very nice - I like the play on words "no catcher on the fly" - sounds like catcher in the rye and the ending lines are powerfully true
