Avarice Incarnate

The spider 
whose web I've been 
crashing at 
is getting kind of 
sick of me. 
  
I guess it's about 
time I strike 
out on my own, and see 
what I can  
make of myself. 
  
I stepped onto 
the sidewalk, 
and wouldn't you 
know it, there 
she was; 
  
Adorned by fluffy green 
earmuffs 
and gaudily over-sized 
plush boots, 
she was a low-fat 
dessert for the eyes, 
a paradox for the soul's 
deciphering probe to 
jab against. 
  
Perhaps she was 
the very realization 
of my pewter daydreams 
molded by tepid steam 
from makeshift 
ovaries.
