Kerouac

She stood among
The classics
Looking
But not seeing

Although Dracula
Caught her eye
Recognition was
Fleeting

She touched the
Spines
Of various sizes
Scent of mocha
Latte
Assaulting her
Senses

Suddenly he was there…

Asking what she
Wouldn’t
Let her self
Wonder
But the flip side
Of the silver
Coin

From her perspective
Holding this
Connection
Having absolutely
Nothing
To do with
Books

Then again he
Asked softly
Snatching this one
From within

Have you ever
Fallen
Helplessly in
Love
With someone
That you
Have never before
Met –
