The Sadness of Books
Walking through a garden of written thoughts
I like
to enter sometimes
the town library
a different and special world
down you walk through a garden of written thoughts
up you float on a sky of unwritten thoughts
I look at the books with humility
then the books look at me
every book has a big eye inside it
in which all the eyes of the readers gathered
I like
to stroke the books with my look
to touch them with my hand
while walking among the shelves
to feel their smell
and read one book or another
I leave taking with me
the sadness of so many books left unread

Violence Begets
"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."
