| An individual spider web | B |
| identifies a species | C |
| - | |
| an order of instinct prevails | D |
| through all accidents of circumstance | E |
| though possibility is | F |
| high along the peripheries of | G |
| spider | H |
| webs | I |
| you can go all | J |
| around the fringing attachments | K |
| - | |
| and find | L |
| disorder ripe | M |
| entropy rich high levels of random | N |
| numerous occasions of accident | O |
| - | |

| the possible settings | P |
| of a web are infinite | Q |
| - | |
| how does | R |
| the spider keep | S |
| identity | T |
| while creating the web | B |
| in a particular place | U |
| - | |
| how and to what extent | V |
| and by what modes of chemistry | T |
| and control | W |
| - | |
| it is | F |
| wonderful | X |
| how things work I will tell you | Y |
| about it | Z |
| because | A2 |
| - | |
| it is interesting | B2 |
| and because whatever is | F |
| moves in weeds | C2 |
| and stars and spider webs | I |
| and known | D2 |
| is loved | E2 |
| in that love | G |
| each of us knowing it | Z |
| I love you | Y |
| - | |
| for it moves within and beyond us | F2 |
| sizzles in | G2 |
| to winter grasses darts and hangs with bumblebees | F2 |
| by summer windowsills | F2 |
| - | |
| I will show you | Y |
| the underlying that takes no image to itself | H2 |
| cannot be shown or said | I2 |
| but weaves in and out of moons and bladderweeds | F2 |
| is all and | J2 |
| beyond destruction | K2 |
| because created fully in no | L2 |
| particular form | M2 |

| if the web were perfectly pre set | N2 |
| the spider could | O2 |
| never find | L |
| a perfect place to set it in and | J2 |
| - | |
| if the web were | H |
| perfectly adaptable | X |
| if freedom and possibility were without limit | Q |
| the web would | O2 |
| lose its special identity | T |
| - | |
| the row strung garden web | B |
| keeps order at the center | H |
| where space is freest intersecting that the freest | P2 |
| medium should | O2 |
| accept the firmest order | H |
| - | |
| and that | Q2 |
| order | H |
| diminishes toward the | R2 |
| periphery | T |
| allowing at the points of contact | S2 |
| entropy equal to entropy | T |
