Leave Them in the Carrels

[tonybaldwin]

There are library books

lying on the street.

Books.

Lives are torn out by children…

pages…I'm sorry, are torn out.

These books have been taken from

theirshelves

By God

knows who

And now, no one reads them.

Someone carelessly per

using left them

having not

fully found what

was within is now

lost.
