Different Book
The cube-owner gone
I walked in
made myself at home
figured him a holy soul
for the book of Holy Writ
upon his desk.
Curiosity itched,
open it was
to the book of Job?
Or is he a Psalm-reader?
A fan of Second Kings?
The text came into view
dry and tasteless,
dull as a blade unsharpened.
I flip to the black leather cover
where gilt words proclaim:
McKinney's Consolidated Laws of New York Annotated --
Section 2201-3013
Oh,
not the laws I was looking for.
