Paperback Dreams
the dusty sign
in the dirty window
read
paperback dreams sold cheap...
since i lost mine years ago
i stepped inside to read
i found a book
that held a name
pages
dog
eared
&
torn
a binding held by
duct tape
a cover
clearly worn
what caught my eye
were the dreams inside
blank page upon blank page
tear drop stained
from
years
gone
by
disappointing day after disappointing day
i set the book
down
on
the
floor
with the feeling...that's where it belongs
like my paper back dreams
i left behind
a
long
time
ago
