Do you try to read books
From every genre
To be able to make recommendations
When people ask
One associate
Asks the other
As my eyes scan the spines
Searching for something
To teach me
What I didn’t know
I needed to learn
A bookstore
Is a good place to pass time
While I wait for my friend
To finish his appointment
Down the street
What do you call someone
Who works at a book shop
A clerk
An attendant
A seller
A keeper
I don’t know
But anyway
I’ve always wondered about this
And so I was delighted to hear
Over the shelves
When one of them
Asked the other
Do you try to read books
From every genre
To be able to make recommendations
When people ask
As my eyes scanned the spines
Not looking for anything
In particular
As I waited
For my friend
To finish his appointment
Up the street
A bookstore
Seemed to be
The best place
To pass the time
