Book Man

what does it say about a man

that he has fewer clothes
than books

can a man with a house full of books
be fully trusted

weapons are hazardous but ideas well
they’re danger incarnate

beware of the man who reads
and understands

he will cut you down without
a second thought

and move on
to the next chapter

only one way to read a book
front to back
