Ode to W.W.

 

We wake up and type words into blank spaces

hoping that they latch on somewhere.

Like filament from a spider.

Before this, we kept our words mostly to ourselves.

Or tucked them away under our pillows in books with zippers and locks.

It was a world in which only the privileged were allowed to be spiders.

The dawning of  a new day.
