i am a mad librarian, i
stamp books and scan bar codes when its day, i
place books on hold, and tenets, too, i
arrange things alphabetically, i
sort and stack and categorize.
But later on in shuttered quiet, I
Help Mend Things, I
glue pages from one book to another, I
transplant chunks of fantasy into reference books, I
paste philosophies over dictionary definitions.
I tape horoscopes to endings, and
I sew bodice rippers into mysteries, and
I switch religious tomes with fairy tales, and
I braid poetry through scientific reasoning, until
Abstract patches the concrete.
