Looking fo Something to Read

Line by line wiggle-words weave
Scanned images float to the backs of the eyes
Vocalized mummery
slush-slides thru the ears.

The needlepoint fonts sewn on acid and acid-free
Pages of white or off-white
Bound in cardboard or laminated
Tossed from book to book in sloppy piles.

Piles of words piles of books
Here on the wobbly sidetable
There on the thin carpet of the bedroom

--Impatient with the waiting
In a conveyance that might give a jiggle
Under the mood-blanket the legs ache to dance.
