Arachnophobia
i have eight legs
i am an arachnid
delicate;exoskeletal
you have two legs
you are a mammal
sloppy;squishy
yet it is i
with the stronger backbone
with the precise dexterity
who scuttles
who cowers on the wall
silk trailing
you with a newspaper
print odorous with ink
smashing in my wake
