What Brand of Disaster, O Gods, What Plague for Your Rage Are You Preparing?

A chart of the cosmos,
A source of order,
A summation of history,

A manifesto,
A pretext,
A conspiracy,

A clearinghouse,
A paragon,
A chaotic memory,

A spider
Smaller than a cuticle
On the thumb of a toddler

Using every animal nerve
To solve the problem of being
Small and hungry
