Reader: Yes - and I peered in too - your haiga was an invitation, difficult not to accept :)
jp: Yes, this is where I despair. . . .
The full reading (at this haiga's cognitive centre) is the spider looking out. Experience that (be the winter spider) and get the ineffable joke. This is why I used the past tense, you see, the viewer has peered in and moved on, thinking the haiku's question. The answer is in the reversal of the self-centred obvious to the not me-centred view-point (lateral thinking, evoked by patience in letting the haiku advise, by clearing the mind of self).
