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
