THE LIBRARY

The library’s like a supermarket.

Maybe it’s more.

They have everything I could want for the moment. Everything I need right now.

They have everything I could want for the moment. Everything I need right now.

A book to fall into.

They have everything I could want for the moment. Everything I need right now.

A book to fall into.

Worlds ready-formed.

They have everything I could want for the moment. Everything I need right now.

A book to fall into.

Worlds ready-formed.

Awaiting my descent.

I'm compacted between the pages. Between two leaves. A pressed flower.

I'm an unsuspecting insect. Trapped. Squashed on a summer's day.

The reader oblivious of course. Insect turned inkblot.

The reader oblivious of course. Insect turned inkblot.

Immortalised on the page.

I want a simple life.

A book.

A summer's day.

Who could ever need more?
