Web

such artistry, tied to two trees
background of a neighbor’s house
which one is mere majestic
you’d say unhesitatingly, the web
but did you know my neighbor

they shingled and painted
their whole house themselves
it was something else

you’d look at it and think
it’s boring brown, but
I see deeper into their lot

the spider’d disagree
my analysis is persistently
annoying because her web
appears as a soccer net

or football for those nuts
in the UK - don’t disparage
you say - but they are nuts
for football, aren’t they

the world wide web would AI
something achingly intricate
but it needs to mind its own
because we all find in small things
something quite beautiful

case in point, fireworks I couldn’t see
but I could hear the one’s next door
as I sat outdoors (and the only time
this year) I saw, lit up like a gathering
of fairies, in my little woods, fireflies

don’t argue, just nod, nod off
and be human instead

Oh, beautiful spiders and their art. Van Gough is jealous. I like this poem. It has so many facets.
