There was smoke in the air
the day
they locked me in the cupboard.
It was the day
i discovered spiderworld.
Never,
never I say
was i so thankful for the web.
Of course
I had seen him many times.
Earl was like a friend.
He sat on his web beneath the stairs
tight in the corner
with his dreadlocks hangin low
and a spliff
toking away between his lips.
\'Cha!\' he would say
\'let it chill out man\'.
Never sure if he was a false blackwidow
his word was rule.
There are many things to discover
beneath the stairs.
My mind expanded that day
they locked me away
in the cupboard
beneath the stairs.
When smoke hung heavily
in the air.
