library opens at 9
hollering regulars
too polite to
the annoying guy
serving coffee. these

tap tap tap

women who know
what to do wear
close-toed shoes
pushing a silver cart
into the biography
section of the library

to the movie section

where teenage bussers

in uniforms and court

house employees

guy wearing two hats

check out CDs

recommended reading

always a middle-aged

lady from Detroit

on a tri-fold diorama

maybe a quilt- telling

good american 

stories, that kind
that make me
want to scream
