I.B.E. (Imaginary Book Exchange)

Exchange of books

between friends, between lovers

not a casual thing

to be done off the cuff

under the altar of the Random Encounter

I always imagine it to be

a ritual

The taking

worth of it's own little meeting

not far away, in a park nearby

routine.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close

just long enough

to nurture expectations
 

The giving

more profound

not to be taken lightly

A signifier

of four hands

holding the same

and then a discussion

The same old need for a begining

and a closure

Not once things have happened

in that way

Thank God.
