Walt Whitman with Mayor Buttplug

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated
Next to the stapler thrower and the old babbling man
On a box to reach the crowd endlessly banning 
Only I might win not the money lending Hebrew
or the fake Indian shrew
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them
