went to" half priced books" today.
traded in 2 boxes of old paperbacks
that my mother was done with and got myself
3 poetry books that look like i'll enjoy.

THE RAG AND BONE SHOP OF THE HEART
anthology
THE KGB BAR
BOOK OF POEMS
and
WHAT BOOK
buddha poems from beat to hiphop

i was caught by the titles. i've been working on a book
of barroom poetry myself, buddha, well, that was an easy
choice and the anthology looks wonderful so, i added to the
cash from the used paperback romances and mysteries from
my mom's and bought myself some enjoyment and maybe
some education. s
