An Ekphrastic Sonnet

Do not be alarmed: I am strange, I know
Ab ovo, I ached to be like the others
To swim with the collective, normal flow
But none of my kin felt like my brothers

Spiders do not have grinning, primate mouths
But mine is as articulate as yours
Long research and some dark and secret vows
Let me find a source from which wisdom pours

You can hear it too, if that is your wish
But I will have to help you understand;
You are also an unusual fish
Now, you and I can form a school most grand!

Powerful knowledge my small bite can give
In weak ignorance, do you wish to live?
