Four Books


Four books carry wisdom.

First is the book of limits.
Second is the book of directions.
Third is the book of silence.
Fourth is the book of lights.

    When I open the book of limits,
    Nails pop up and screws
    Fall out, making a racket
    Over the kitchen floor.

    When I open the book of directions,
    Maps unfold, each in a language
    I do not know, and each historically
    Documenting a world long gone.

    When I open the book of silence,
    All the rooms in the apartment
    Become sealed in a Zip-Lock bag
    And I start to asphyxiate.

    When I open the book of lights,
    My eyes tear up and I go blind,
    Screaming, unable to find my way,
    Tripping over loose screws in the kitchen.
