Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Daft Books

Daft Books

The books are losing all their pages -
Poetic, language, historic - all their sages.
Invisible ink between the satiny sheets.
The volumes of milk absent from their teats.

The bindings - ripping, roaring, caustic -
Old farts - haggardly - facade of plastic.
Our youth feeds on fodder from their tablet pens,
Texting emojis and acronyms from their Mercedes Benz.
