For Interaction In Stupefaction Poem by Margaret Alice

I love reading books
always looking for
an earth-shattering insight
a marvellous mystery
a new delight
a picture of beauty
using bibliotherapy
for every ailment I know

As I travel through
the library
I come across books
like Codes of Love -
the author is intimately
talking to me

He says he is conversing
with me, the reader, he
tells me about his family
and I should tell him
all about my mine

A book for interaction
in stupefaction
I realize, Eureka!
I have finally found
a reader’s El Dorado,
hooray!
