-The library is quiet
But the chair is hard
- the patron just beside me
Blows the nose with
Enthusiasm !!
There is a clock ticking
In the hallway
And time
Has
Slowed down . . .
This place must be
A hundred years old -
Almost!
Note to self
Bring cushion
Next time -
And earplugs . . .
The librarian makes the rounds
Every few minutes
She may be lonesome
Sitting here
All day with old books
And ghosts
There must be
Ghosts . . .
Because -
This is not a public library but
One which has much
History of mysticism
And such
Madam Blavatsky must be
Looking over us.
