a spider spins its web

a spider spins
its web
silky threads
stretched
across
strong as steel
sticky
 
the prey
not knowing
knowing not
once trapped
cocooned
in silk
eaten
dies

a child
not knowing
knowing not
stuck
tangled
in a web
of rules
regulations
policies
processes
all
in the best
interest
of the
child
all
in the name
of
a job
executed
a child
processed
executed
done

a spider spins
its web
silky threads
stretched
across
strong as steel
sticky
 

i is cloud

i is cloud
cloud is my
what is cloud

a little voice
innocent
not knowing
knowing not
chirped
aloud

white cloud
beautiful
dark cloud
what is this
black cloud angry
fall
fall here
fall there
fall fall fall

i is cloud
cloud is my
what is cloud
a little voice
chirped
aloud
not knowing
knowing not

i is cloud
cloud is my
what is cloud
