Trigger No. 47

[Thunderembargo]

The cracked spine
of an Orwell book
is all it takes
to send me into the downward spiral.                         this should be "a" downward spiral, unless you show why you use a def. article here

The borrowed book cracked                       the simple observation implies meaning for the relationship, perhaps the relationship itself is Orwellian
and you texted me                                        if you could refer to the various cracks that Winston experiences in 1984, you would add new meaning
thinking of my bibliophilia                                 your love for books in lieu of real meaning is fascinating
and I texted back “cheap 70s bookbinding”.         the convenience of meta-programs is quintessentially "Orwellian", you could expand this idea 

Now I hate the book
because you thought it would matter.
It would have been OK
if you’d set it on fire
and danced around it.                                          perhaps your referring to Animal Farm or the entire Orwellian Anthology; a shocking image

I’d sure like to.
