Parties

I am always

in the kitchen

at parties,

hiding in

the vegetable rack,

wondering

when it might be safe

to slip out the back.

We Are Books

I am a book.

But one of those books

with an aspiration beyond its station,

a pale imitation of Nabakovian narration.

Characterisation never the strongest,

I’m forever on the longlist,

always the prize-maid, but never the prize

(watch out for that plot-hole).

You are a book.

The Turko-Polish Technical Dictionary

of Hydraulic Engineering, to be precise.

You are far from concise

and run into three volumes

with online supplementary material

(including downloadable PowerPoint slides).

I have very little idea how to read you

or whether I should even try.

But still we sit side by side,

on the shelf,

our companionable silence

speaking volumes.
