the spinner and his web
“Spider-boy, king of thieves / Weave your little webs of opacity”
“The master of spin has a couple side flings” — mad woman
Community readers join the master of spin to Karma's spider-boy: the same antagonist rendered as a weaver, spin as deceit's craft in both songs. Records, narratives and webs are spun by the same hands, and the later song names the spinning for what it is, opacity woven on purpose.
