Analysis of Spider web on my elbow

Paris Thomas 1977 (California)



Spider web on my elbow.
I’ve been here a long long time. I’m going to be here for an even longer period of time.  I’ve seen them come. And I’ve seen them go. You wannabe the king ? Well you had better stand in line.  Here today you’ll be here tomorrow.  Life is a state of mind if you think you can you will likely do. The Truth be known to he whom uncovers her hidden knowledge.
