Poem

Book nerds enter
at your own risk
foot tap…which way to go
to dash away
down the stairs
to thumb the stacks and stacks

The major place is free
but book nerds long
to own a thousand
million - hug
them all with roving fingers
and supine bookmarks
placed in one and all

The remote control -
books aren’t completed one by one
we flip to different hooks*
and score

Tables at the book sale are labeled
but books can wind up
anywhere

The library ladies look bored
this is not their habitat
they are stared down
made to volunteer

The restrooms remain clean
for who has time
for such things

Filling up my bag -
One of these bound beauties
in its heyday might cost more
than the whole bag i score

Christianity and Poetry
are my main subjects
i’m salivating

And as any book nerd knows
before we start to read
we caress
the cover
and the first couple pages
like soul gazing - also called
foreplay
after all, we are making love
