Behind the bookshelf, it grew gossamer filaments joining each other a spider, building a home so brand new for his children, his wife and his mother using the best dusty cobweb glue in the shadows, his work was a hassle but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do afterall, a man's home is his castle at the intersection of darkness and dust a great neighborhood for the kids in this secret shadowy eclave of must a cryptic location, well hid in his own little piece of the dark a home woven by Mr. Spider as a father and husband he makes his mark weaving his web ever tighter an entryway floor of fancy tile a modern, up to date kitchen a mansion of dust in the latest of style a website of the finest tradition |
