I speak

Sshh

Listen

Don’t worry

I forgot to mention

Stories are untold all around us

Stay away from the eyes of the darkness

Listen to the rhythmic words of old

Don’t worry to much about it

It opens and closes

Then bleeds into

The corners

Of a story

Now you may

Speak...

Overheard colors makes vibrations

Overheard the universe is elegant

Overheard thoughts and feelings

Overheard stay in my lane

Overheard education is power

Overheard power is educating

Overheard planes overhead

Overheard my hunger pains

For food and knowledge

Overheard my yearning for real connections

Overheard opportunity

Overheard compassion and love

Overheard nothingness...

As he passed through the rows of moldy books, Ben took in the smell of the old paper. The building had managed to survive the ravages of time and he relished the opportunity to peruse the ancient volumes which remained.

This might come off a little mean

But let’s discuss how well you clean

It’s not that bad as cleaning goes

It’s really just your stinking toes

The nails are long and sickly brown

And twist and curl themselves around

The dirt and gunk all in between

Has been there since last Halloween

I hesitate to even say

How much the smell ruins my day

So please next time we go outside

To the library,...

my mind

is

a library

of worlds

hers

your books

are

pristine

polished

and

prepped

but

i can

still

hear

the

echoing words

from other

sections, from

other people

his love

and her

affection

while your

section

is silent...

Overheard in the library

A cacophony of clicks

Symphony of scratches

and shushes

Conductors leading the orchestra

with their white noise batons.

Take it apart.

Tear the notes from the pages

Hear the gasp of a weary reader

Too much vibrato for the waitlist

Clock their staccato intake

As they jump the line

As the shelf sings to her

An aria....

rustling

tik tak toks and printers rebooting

whispers and giggles and shushes

hidden away in 400 - 499

cozy in a nook of languages...

Overheard in the library

Two friends yapping with each other

Book open, pens down

If I saw them in the library any other day

I don’t think I would see them at all

For they did not seem

Inclined to bear their own silence

But for the days they came, they came together

Though they didn’t seem to get any work done

There was always excited chattering to be expected

Overheard in the library
