The Library

The world shrank
Into clusters of words
Into remote silence
Into piles of bulky pages
All stood neatly and politely on selves
Waiting and serving their admirers 
Suddenly the internet broke in one day
And conquered them 
But they remained silence 
Still hoping for their old friends 
To drop in one day
