3-sided Table
Just past the reading room
With its bright magazine covers
And old church smell
Around faded Nancy Drews
In well loved yellow
There’s a three-sided table
Its chair, old fashioned oak
Squeaks in protest
But is worn and forgiving
Abandoned during the day mostly
Old ladies and folks without internet
They don’t bother me
I keep myself to myself
Warm as the free coffee
Me and my corner
