173

Books Go Any/EveryWhere
books for bed
and books for the train
books for sunshine
and books for the rain
books for tears
and books for smiles
books for road tripped travel miles
books for underlining
books for folding
books for borrowing
big books for holding
a book for leisure
a book for learning
a book for pleasure
a book for journaling 
I yearn to earn enough so that 
I might always have a book upon my lap
a cigarette to smoke and a worthy night cap. 
i could read them all and read them again,
start in the middle or maybe the end
take my money, take my love, my comforts
take my dignity, take my clothes
take my plans, I don't need those
but please dear taker, don't take those 
Books Are Any/EveryThing 
Have a thought and write it down
Then take a walk around downtown
Relate the lesson to the life that's
Pulsing by your bedside 
On page forty-five
And sentence two
The place, the word that reminded me of you. 
fuck me fuck me fuck me. 
to crossed eyes and sore thighs so that I can't read any more
And until the only thing that would sober my sexed brain
Is a book. 
Is a four letter word.
