and I just keep buying more,
and a gorgeous girl gave me
another one today at church.
I take photos of my books,
because I am a word nerd,
and I like proof for pudding
and to remember the order.
I am re-reading one,
because I threw away
the first copy that was given me
by the love of my dumb life.
I have hopes of making
new memories with new books
and old books, alike,
because they all save my life.
