In the café of Barnes and Noble,
we sip tea:
yours Earl Grey,
mine orange.
From above, like
critics at a theater,
Hemingway and Wilde
watch us compose verse.

 

At the park beside the library,

among books laid open

to our senses,

we join Twain and Swift

to share philosophy,

sun and good humor.

 

Someday, we'll tell our children
bedtime stories: that Bronte

introduced us and Shakespeare
wrote our wedding vows.
