a tangled web indeed

elite arachnids feint and joust
while prey by venom fully soused
perceive a gentler view

and there the sensible the few
transfixed in horror would eschew
the machinations and the spin
for almost nearly anything
that smacks of honesty

spin
rhymes with
sin
and refuses to
listen
stoking the fire of
fear
of what's different
between
when really there's much more
alike
