Spider in the Window Frame

[Don Schaeffer]

Even the ones
who say they don't trust
have sticky insides,

tear away at risk
of internal rips. We
never get away easily.

This is a planet
of pull-me push. Sticky
webs stretch and hold


They spin through our eyes,
sticky threads that build homes.
Please don't despair.

Neat-o Don!!!

Here is an instance of where the photo is only half of the story!! The personal poetry makes this three times more interesting to me than just the photo itself. The words emphasize the suggestions of the image and vice versa.

True art comes from the artist not being afraid to wind themselves up into their work and expose a bit of themselves in the process. As a printing suggestion I would wrap this poem around the margins of the image or handwrite it over top of the white in between spaces.

Thanks CL. I have used that technique in the past when I made paintings. Unfortunatley the poem is very hard to read when you do that.
