I watch you read the book

               the book that a
          crochet of
             stiff wanderers
                        worn        hands
                        welt together some
     inductive hours  
    (some real good ones at that)
  
   what page is that?
the one where she goes “ah!” and the world
     crumbles to their
          hairline-fractured feet,
        
               I’ve read this one before
