books

all these books
each has a story
i want to know this one
and that one too
i want to know the pages
inside each cover
i want to put that wisdom
in my brain

so many books
see that shelf sag
i wish i could tell you
all of their words
i wish i was so smart
i would be a sagging shelf
and tell you the stories
you'd be so interested

all these books
i guess i will read them
one at a time
starting at this shelf
there's the tecture of the paper
have other people read them
the words turn into pictures
it's as magic as can be
