the unreadable book

i should return this book 
to the library.
they must be wondering
where this copy 
of Ulysses is.
this thick unreadable
book, hard back
in a deep worn blue.
i've had it for over twenty years.
the fine must be enormous.
i'm still on page six. 
four hundred more
pages to go.
it's made 
a fabulous door stop 
though,
all these years off the shelf
of the library.
