More Than a Container for Words
The book was so much more than
a container for words inscribed on pages
-David Rundle
A container for words; there’s something in that
For if it contains words, it contains dreams
Your portable dreams, your vade mecum
In code, waiting to be interpreted
A container for words, humming with life
With verbs wanting to pour out all the nouns
And fling the adjectives in front of them
With conjunctions and adverbs (only a few)
A container for words, a book, your book
Which you began writing when you were born
