Unlike Spider

A spider
That keeps getting stuck
Caught, trapped
In its own silk
Keeps weaving

Around its own legs
Might be called
Deficient
Developmentally arrested
Perhaps hapless

What might humans
Constructing, propping up
Reifying
Institutions — while being caught
Trapped

And crushed by them
Be called
Given that humans
Unlike spider
Can see the trap

Developmentally arrested
Or complicit
Conceited
