Living where ‘daddy-long-legs’ webs gracefully decorate
may be abasement of ‘putative pre-eminence’; so who’d
think it matters enough to be on the needle, so to speak,
about spider webs being sources of dust-borne disease;
well - given I’m often sneezing for no particular reason -
maybe me, but sneezing isn’t pestilence, or plague, is it,
except to the cognoscenti & then there’s more allergens
in the grass pollens - & hey, why equivocate on spiders
Come to think of it - you have to see them to know they
are there in the first place - they don’t build a grandiose
web to display that sun-glinting-dew-drop-magnificence,
just a few random strands along the architraves; seems
to work okay, and they slo-hypno-dance prey who’re so
tiny you wonder anyway how they manage to survive
