Spiders lurk in the topiary
Their webs exposed by morning dew
No breakfast today
For those depending on miscues

Cover blown. How spiders get enough tucker has always been a bit of a mystery to me. However they will decamp and find a another spot rather than starve, I believe.

They are actually good sailers. I observed one once crossing the road she had spun three webs in the shape of Y had some food in the center and would run up and down the three webs to tack and change direction. wrote a Hikyu about it.
three webs and a gnat

'Ingenious' little buggers. I Don't wish to anthropomorphize but if you want persistence and patience look no further than your friendly local spider.
ok so I aint got time for spiders (some of nature's cruellest creatures), but if I read your words as commentary metaphors on the 'spiders' in our lives, then I get to appreciate the intricate merits in your write,
good read
Oh come on, L.B. - I must leap to the defense of spiders. In my previous post I felt really ambivalent about my anthropomorphization in attributing persistence and patience to these lovely creatures. But you've gone right over the top with 'cruel'. What kind of judgement is that? I expected better of you?!!

lol the things that trigger us,
dude they literally paralyse and eat their prey alive, every time they can... and I said, 'some' of 'nature's' cruellest: as in it's in their nature to be...
but hey, if 'I ain't got time' is a crime you can't fathom, we'll just have to agree to disagree, lol
