Sunday, Feb. 26

Mom said 3,

raised it to 5,

finally said “all you can carry”

But by then they’d let me upstairs

into the adult library.

Every Saturday

without fail

we’d pile into the car

get our stacks of books

and cart them home to devour.

I had no doubt then

all knowledge

could be found there.
