Charlotte
The nerves at the end of my interest tingle/
at the meeting of someone new/
the uncertainty of who they are awakens me/
Who are they?/
Not just by name, but by emotion, experience, history/
Who have they been before, and who will they become?/
How do we mesh in this endless tangle of connection?/
Will the sparkling in my web enchant them?/
Or my constant spinning make them weary?/
I, myself, am captivated/
by the endless possibilities, by the unfamiliarity/
and, most importantly,/
by the desire to turn this someone new/
into someone to be delved into.
