an antiquarian bookdealer,
upwardly sleeves--Cheshire Cat's
feral litter.
as the front door bell tinkles,
(comparative to an upside down,
apple: Blow Pop).
its soundwaves release the litter,
from the elbow patches of the
proprietor's suit jacket.
its corduroy, thoroughly marked
with their epithets.
as they treat occasional pages as
glue traps--from which they must
release mice from.
please understand--bibliophile by
definition.
where the polite browsing of book
spines--become the agilism of
overattentive readership.
