~ ~ ~

Wanted:

one

Fine

condition.
Out

of

print.

Head

on

straight.

Tail

especially

fine.
Has

peculiarities

and

shelf-worn

sophistication.
Close

Comes

with

Persistent

problem.

Dog-eared.

Endless

errata.

Fixes

Insists

books

are

for

reading,

not

collecting.
Spine in

good

condition.
Illustrates

the

blank

spaces

in

my

life.
Desired

as-is.

No

cause for return.
