Spring is Coming, be not afraid

Its not a spiderweb- well, maybe it is, but more likely

its the lifeline of a small green worm-

and delicate one, your new pet

for the next ten days

Its not poisonous- well, not if you don't eat it

its just fuzzy, with bright red eyes,

and an inescapable thirst

for pool water

Its the rain- well, the rain isn't brown and dry

its dropping fuzzy ringlets on your car

and everywhere else

for the aesthetic

Spring is coming, be not afraid

for the sweat in the air is a drink in the shade

the tears in the sky are a sheild to the sun's blade

this is Florida- be not afraid
