Suzzallo -- a fond goodbye

SUZALLO LIBRARY

As acolyte at the University,
I am entranced by the long shelves
that reach unending around corners,
flooding floors and buildings,
a bounty of accumulating wealth
bound into books,
worlds upon worlds,
all mine.

Here I'll find the fabled golden fleece
in a fever of fresh ideas and the
questions that pose new questions,
giving birth to dreams,
possibilities,
the significance of worlds,
some now gone forever,
but still quick on the pages
of books
