all these books
on the overfilled shelves,
a vast, restless search for answers
for meaning and purpose and how to live
when all they contain
is a vast, restless fumbling for answers
no one ever getting there
well, not quite no one
but very few
and no novelists
no poets
no history books
lots of clues
but rarely the one that stands out
so clearly to me just now
stop buying books
if you're looking for answers
in them.
