books/light night
03/29/2012 12:46 a.m.
i've never liked books
too much weight
not enough action
funny smells
yellowed pages

--

the night doesn't truly
get dark around here
though i've always found
light pollution rather
comforting

it's especially bright
just when it starts to rain
the sidewalks glossed over
singing echos of the street lights

i walk home slowly
hoping never to arrive
