Blind Spiders

By David Caplan

Rise and be numbered, like the sheep you are. Yes you blind mice going up the spout again,

Itsy-bitsy, blind spiders climbing back for the warm comforting feeling of tickety-tock beneath your little clawed feet.

Comfort in that, the passing of such, Precious time.

The suffering it brings. The comfort it brings.

But will you still climb the spout again when the tickety-tock ends?

When Time is no more? Will you? Can you imagine that, An end to Time?

Can you, can you really? Don't you think that is what Heaven is?

Don't you?

So why do you fear death, oh blind mice?

Why do you not just lay at the bottom of the spout itsy-bitsy spider

and let the waters flush you away into your blindness completely?

Because there you will find sight?
