bookends are better than none
everything falls when we add something in
better we find, familiar in kind
than everything falling on end.
Everything falling on end
that's how it goes when we think that we share
something it's not, and all of that rot
better to stack 'em up there.
Better to stack them up there
don't need the floor space and don't even care
from where I am perched, less often besmirched
but I'd rather a bookshelf to share.
I'd rather a bookshelf to share
got plenty of wall space and welcome one there
you can have your own shelves and just keep to ourselves
or mix 'em all in if we dare!
