writing is struggling
climbing through tangled branches
of octopus trees

and it riles the leaves
to try to do as you please

so to pair a phrase
in the tangled web they weave
be cool as you can

just measure the tree lumber
each step of the way

The World Wide Web,
Is a daunting thing.
It connects us with others,
We've never seen.

We navigate with caution,
Not knowing what lurks.
A valuable road map,

Always accepting its' flaws,

A web

Sticky design hung

Then try to get it off fast

"Another woven lie in which I'm trapped."     

wind pronounced as in the line "I will wind a ball of yarn"

Consciously aware the disappointment that life brings 
I know the agony of lonely nights 
The familiarity has me nervous and uncertain 
What tangled web we weave?
Caught in the web of pain........
