sometimes simple
does it best
kickin’ ass of
cluttered rest
if you doubt it
I suggest
check out books
that passed this test.
Not technical
the pages feel
smooth as silk
and twice as real
with covers hard
the dust appeal
is blurb’an’ art
in hand—on heel
its friendly weight
will help remind–
you stories of
a different time
are there
–on hold—
until you find
the tale end
of printed lines
you just can’t top
the tactile sense
of book on knee
and hands-on text
of dog ears free
of fur, but blessed
with shaggy dogs
and felt suspense.
daily prompt: obsolescence
