the hardback novel

you turn the page.
then another, you
make it through
chapter three then
close the book.
drop it on the floor,
you kick
it into position
against the door.
it's too thick
and complex to
be read. you have
no patience
for a bad plot,
and charcters
that aren't
fleshed out. no
matter how many
millions have been
sold,  it's
best where it
is, keeping
the door
propped open.
