The Things I Heard By The Brown Couch

I have been given compliments.
Compliments of beauty, of merit.
Only one has stuck with me.
Only one has mattered.

"You are a certain mystery.
    A mystery I wouldn't mind
reading."


I almost fell in love in that living room, dying for
a chance to taste choice novels.
