I.
There is a fur in making
Scratches markings on its dorsal side
Spins irregular – is disorderly – chances
II.
Danger: Keep arms and legs inside
Covers abdomen, swallows pill, depresses tongue
A mother rat after the maternal heart
III.
Torn from its parietal (parent)
Sponges and other invertebrates
Stand motionless with pedipalps raised
