In a dream a spider swallows a snake and smiles like  a giant yellow sunflower being  kissed   by                                                                  bees                                                                  who dance  wildly  with the  wind  as  it  turns white with anticipation.   The  snake  charmer   plays                                                                     his                                                                   tune. The  spider  dances,  rising up,  stretching, elongating. Her  legs disappear, drawing   into  her  body where                                                                     they                                                                     turn into a flickering tongue that protrudes from her lips. She wriggles in her dance; her tongue waves                                                                     in the                                                                     air to the melody, begins  to sing a  sultry,  hissing song. Then the charmer's flute begins to move, undulating                                                                         to her                                                                         song's cadence.   And the charmer is himself charmed. He sits in a trance as his snake-flute wraps itself around                                                                               him                                                                               and the  spider  looking  like a  snake swallows them both.

Song of Change (or Just Straight-up Weird)
In a dream a spider swallows a snake and smiles like  a giant yellow sunflower being  kissed   by                                                                  bees                                                                  who dance  wildly  with the  wind  as  it  turns white with anticipation.   The  snake  charmer   plays                                                                     his                                                                   tune. The  spider  dances,  rising up,  stretching, elongating. Her  legs disappear, drawing   into  her  body where                                                                     they                                                                     turn into a flickering tongue that protrudes from her lips. She wriggles in her dance; her tongue waves                                                                     in the                                                                     air to the melody, begins  to sing a  sultry,  hissing song. Then the charmer's flute begins to move, undulating                                                                         to her                                                                         song's cadence.   And the charmer is himself charmed. He sits in a trance as his snake-flute wraps itself around                                                                               him                                                                               and the  spider  looking  like a  snake swallows them both.
