try reading a book

to see everything in monetary terms
when you’re rich and at no risk of
starving seems a little bit stupid, maybe
you should just take another look   ..

childhood

read for hours, nothing that was on the
school curriculum, mind, I was a
pretty odd kid who wouldn’t go to school but
to the public library instead

you’re all so bloody annoying    ..

you bounce around like I don’t know what
and declare that everything’s
changing and you have to keep moving to keep up
and I just want to sit down

library

the books
standing
orderly
in their
shelves,
each with
their own
identity,
each day
some travel,
but come
morning,
they are
all
once again
quiet and
at home.

a skimmer of stones on the surface of knowledge

a mere dilettante, of course,
I struggle to look deeper
into the pond, when there are
so many rivers

I should go out more
and more I stay at home
with my books
I know how it looks    ..

they’re not just books

books you fall in love with are friends, just by dint of falling in love with them

just talk amongst yourselves

didn’t have many
friends to
start with I was sitting in the pub
with a book didn’t
exactly help
matters not,
since I was engrossed
in the book

Reflections

My mirror is a compulsive liar,
that hangs upon my wall.
It lies, it cheats, until I weep,
as it stands above so tall.
