I saw a common spider climbing up a string of its web
It pulled the anchor, detached the line, destroying its old work
To create a better, more useful web for a new time

This prolific silk-spinner spends much time perfecting her lines
Forming, editing, redoing, and replacing the pieces
Line after line, web after web, often disregarded

Until it no longer satisfies her needs and she begins
Another greatly ambitious work of great care and juncture
That will highlight a beauty the world might've overlooked
