Carl Jung And the Flying Spiders (Free verse) by horus8
I used to steal his milk-money,
and hope, but now he has
The spider. Now he's fused
Head and thorax together
Day, or night, in all weather
He controls the spider.
The trigger fish is fast asleep
In an ocean current
Plankton warm then ripen
For this whale's last meal
But the whale knows not
The spider, just the lobster.
An older spider underwater
Good in Maine, and with butter
I want to have the spider
I have to keep the symbol
I must solve this riddle.
I will have the spider.
I should have invested his milk -
- money more appropriately
Now allow me to condescend
Since I am such the arrogant autodidact
A bully full of bullshit
I can't possess the spider
I wish my bravery
Was a little bit wider
Than the highway
I came here upon.
He is tarantula boy
Child born all hair
Look out for fangs
When lights click quick
Shadows race center
To form absolute blackness
Where compound eyes lurk
To nestle you in web,
drained corpses, and
mathematical perfection
I am jealous of the spider
Say "You're not",
and you're a liar.
Here's your milk-money back
Now just let me go fluid-filled
Not one drop lacking...
Jung was right to blame
The spider, I was wrong
To stay inside her.
