Books

Like a solitary bee
Setting aside nectar
In a vast and empty hive
A limited life
in a world of unlimited sweetness
I gather books I will never read

Bleak, I fancy this one in so many ways, especially because I do the same thing. And you are correct. Reading does give us a world of unlimited sweetness. Nice!
