Just alright are e-books and
just okay are e-zines
I suppose they have their place in the
natural progression of things
but I
love Books...
Old books and new books
soft books and hard books
to sniff an stroke and even listen to
when antiquated stiff bindings moan
after sitting unopened for far too long
I just love books...
to pile up beside my bed... and
trip over in the night
to scan and browse and finger titles
and check dates of copyrights
to feel the vibrations
from cover to cover of
previous generations of
fellow book lovers
to peruse
for forbidden doodles and
marginal ramblings
personal rememberances
and briefly noted things
purposely yet
inadvertently left
for future word finders
like myself
Okay... so... e-books and even e-zines
now have their space
in the way of things
but I still hold
a special place
for
Books...
