A book fallen
From the shelf
Lying there
On the carpet
Looking
Out of place
I think I should
Get off the couch
Pick up the book
And place it back
On the shelf
With the other books
But then I think
I should leave it
Right where it is
Because that is
Where it is
For whatever reason
And the argument
Of order
To be in its supposed place
On the shelf
Does not necessarily
Win out
In my mind
Over the argument
To let things be
Just as they are
