James Walton #53 Non deciduous library loans




Now
in this country
it is said
hearts
are stale wafers
breaking soundlessly
without
the whip crack
of youth
but then
our shelves
are also bare
Now

    the electronic gum tree says
    "I've seen your type before
    sure to you wise guy
    it's a just a book"
