Book Store

I’m in Barnes and Noble One day after New Year It’s crowded Most people shopping a book store for the first time… People who seldom read anything but magazines Unless they’re students Students of course are forced to read Well it’s the sale! 50% off a number of items nobody wants anyway But then there’s something grand about being surrounded by the greats – Twain Shaw Hardy Hemmingway I come in B&N often Have coffee and a cookie Write poetry watch the infinite variety of faces If you study faces and figures closely It’s easy to fall in love Easy to fall in love with strangers Strangers are like your pets Completely innocent God forbid you should happen to strike up a conversation If this should happen faces change Like triggering the remote on your T.V. set All becomes normal SNAFU!
