Lyall Benjamin

If It Was Chairs or Pots

If it was an early collection of chairs and pots
or fashion or God forbid rugby memorabilia;
questions would be asked, voices raised,
hackles elevated.

   But books?
   Let’s throw out the shit or burn it like nazis.

And years later.
Sheepish grins covered asses and OOPS.

Benjamin
