Too Many Books

Today I cleaned a small bookcase.

Noted sizes, rearranged.

Thought of who I'd give them to

share them when 

they've been read through.

Still like the heft of real life things

flat screens, shoestrings, can't complain.

Sometimes I like to smell them, too

I know it's odd

so how 'bout you?

Do you like your dinner real

or only pictures you can feel?

Do you like the great outdoors

or only texting on the floor?

I like them all, but as you see

too many books have thus found me!

Sitting on my little shelf

precious, perfect ....

Note to self:

Read tomorrow. So it be

a day for reading. 

Seriously!
