Father had the look of a god, lording over his world from his Victorian throne as his only son wove a web, just for him, just for me.
Father was a prey was too large to be so entrapped; so the spider sought escape, silvered words mere distraction as the jester danced away.
Father was blind, not seeing the flitting ploys: only old tricks, old heartbreaks.
He thought it was funny.
Father didn’t.
Father watched the magician’s hands as they performed their magic tricks, watched for mistakes, imperfections-
The jester escaped, and laughed: Father is such a fool at times.
