Heaven Must Be a Library -

Heaven must be a library -
   An acquaintance in boredom said -
With many open levels that are airy
   And plush carpet on which to tread

With sliding ladders on the aisles -
   Coffee on tap and a poofy chaise
On which to read the gilded titles
   And infinite time to waste.

I replied I'd love to meet her there
   To help explore the nooks and crannies
And she promised me she'd share -
   To my surprise, spaces such as these.

That way, every now and then -
   She could break from reading
And come find the alcove I'm in
   To see how I'm doing.
