Arachnid with Wings – By Dan Leicht
Swinging
building to building; thwip or grapple
Arachnid collides with Nocturnal Knight
Jester sits beside the eight armed doctor – laughs
Web-slinger sides with the Dark Crusader
Both putting differences aside
to protect the city
Cherry-bomb
goes off in an apartment
Smoking oven serves as a riddle
“At the old Betty Crocker factory,” says the Knight
Waiting there
the envious Goblin
baring rancid teeth and a napalm pumpkin
Jester and the doctor both watching from the rafters
as the Knight cloaks himself to the explosions
Jack-o-lanterns bombarding him
in endless onslaught
The Dark figure
only there for distraction
A webbed trap being spun from above
The jester not even giving notice
Or the octo-doc
The Knight slings a bat shaped blade through the air
*SNIP*
Cutting the web
Ensnaring the spectators
Missing only one
Wearing an emerald suit
holding a questionable cane
The man in the lime mask travels subway tracks
A mile down he sees lights
speeding towards him
Lights too low for a train
The large wheels of the tumbler approaching
The man of riddles trapped in the web of a bat
