I wonder what he does <br />Between catches and kills <br />Waiting, patiently waiting <br />On that ornate web- his design <br />And what does he think <br />With his pint sized brain(if any) <br />Standing on eight distorted legs <br />Above a ceiling upside down <br />(or is it right side up for him?) <br />Leading a proper spiders life <br />Lonely, and whose only music is <br />The buzz of a fly caught on his strings..?<br /><br />krishnakumar chandrasekar nair<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-patient-spider/
