The Book You Have Need Of

Holds no verse and has no prose.
There’s not a shot or a sketch
For your wide eyes to drink in.
There are no notes. It’s not blank.

It does have words. They’ll tell you
They know what you need to know,
But can you get used to them,
The words of that book? They dance.

They slide down the lines. They switch
And they jump from page to page.
The book you need has a life
Of its own. It wants you. Wants yours.
