POEMS

Please Bury Me In The Library

by J. Patrick Lewis

(reprinted with permission from the author)

Please bury me in the library in the clean, well-lighted stacks
Of Novels, History, Poetry, right next to the Paperbacks,
Where the Kids’ Books dance with True Romance and the Dictionary dozes.
Please bury me in the library with a dozen long-stemmed proses.
Way back by a rack of Magazines, I won’t be sad to often,
If they bury me in the library with Bookworms in my coffin.
