My books went with me to Alaska I packed them in boxes The barge man said sure That will be a dollar a pound Grumbling a bit I paid Ten years in a damp climate Felt more like twenty But the books liked it, Sniffing salt air from their shelves Where I kept them dry But not too dry When it came to pass that it was time I packed my books in boxes I'll sort them out later I told myself The barge man said sure That will be a dollar a pound Grumbling a bit I paid I put all those boxes In the cool below ground The books liked it, Sniffing radon from the foundation Where I kept them dry But not too dry They waited patiently on my priorities Until bookshelves at Costco Made in China I didn't like that But they were affordable I bought three thinking I would cull my books And take one back Maybe Two half-full boxes Duplicate titles Somebody will want them One each is enough, Maybe I'll keep first editions Four identical Stephen Vincent Benet Bookshelves at Costco Made in China I don't like that I need two more If there are any left Tomorrow the sign said A yard sale Sometimes they sell books I could use another Stephen Vincent Benet James D.
