If anyone ever comes to town, all the public library's poetry is in my room. I stole the nonrhyming poetry too. I also stole all the D.H. Lawrence and Dostoevsky which they actually just threw in a pile next to the trashcan. I was too late to save the Samuel Beckett, they shredded most of the Bs.cassettes don't last. i bet if you played it on a walkman now, it would sound like you were listening to it under water.
It took a long time to get around to weeding out the poetry books because they all looked old and nobody knew what was worth keeping. They didn't know where to begin.
i have only stolen one book from the library. i've still got it somewhere. it was a book on buddhism. i launched it out the library window and scuttled round the back and made off with it. i remember my girlfriend dumped me shortly after that. in hindsight, maybe i should have had a quick flick through before nicking it. . . karma's a motherfucker.
