BOOOOKS

even 
when i'm not reading
because the day is uncomfortable as crabs
and nothing will 
suitably engage
or smile or entertain
and 
i sit still as statues/stuck by science
to
simple wooden kitchen chairs
and
the
huge
turning hurtling heft of the world
its 
very 
IMPORTANT/headline crucial
to
have
gentle
piles and stacks and broken spine columns
of
BOOOOKS! all around
quiet/undemanding
patiently holding safe and linear
reality dreams
and
sane disorder - EXPOSING time and tricks
chaos filed
on
trial

i'll lay a hand on their gospel like i'm evidence
and
promise
never
to
properly lie
