![Don't ask me who's influenced me. A lion is made up
of the lambs he's digested, and I've been reading all

A hut may be a granary, a mansion a desert
Where are the books piled Dagwood deep
Where does your mother read you to sleep
Where do the mangos of the South
and the spices of the East mix in feast](https://i0.wp.com/www.neilmeili.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Edible-Books.jpg?resize=600%2C600)

WINDOWS
Propping a window open with a book
remembering where I get my air and light
RULE BRITTANICA
Mostly musty now
Google-buried deep
in library stacks and garage
sale Take if for a Dollar boxes

denied the pleasure
of sitting with a volume
rich and heavy to the hand
and knowing you could know
everything there was to know
about whatever started
somewhere with an M
to whatever started somewhere with an O
