the reluctant apprentice, trained
with brown paper and string.
the redundant book binder, left
to the world with care. hoped
to eradicate a lack of training , gold
leaf tracing a memory. retuned eventually
through mappe mundi, national libraries
all ancient tape and frogskin.
chained.
the books are bound.
