dust on my bookshelves
Most of us have a bookshelf, or rows and rows of it. Bookshelves have a life of their own. They refuse to be cleaned. Or that's what I thought.

dust on my bookshelves
today it rained, i thought
it would be nice to go through
the stuff in my bookshelves
i had been trying to meant to
tidy it up for the nth year
so
a poetry book by Bukowski, heavily pencilled, Harlan's stalking the nightmare, yellowed & dog-eared, a couple of old journals with my maniacal scrawls with scraps of paper falling out like dead leaves, paperbacks of pulp fiction, gumshoes & losers & novel ways of torture, scores of sci-fi novellas, my favourites, lost worlds, obliterated worlds, nebulae, Moorcock, de Guin, oh yes, the comic magazines, mostly with a lady heroine with big breasts, photo albums, some CDs rolled out like Yap's wheels, a warranty card for a PC that i had already thrown away, a military medal that will bring a lump to my throat
it was interesting reading, this rainy day,
and i agreed the shelf is a mess
so it would be nice
to go through the bookshelves
another time..
