A poem in an instant...
So there’s no need to nick
this Philip K Dick?
I don’t have to pilfer
a Rosamunde Pilcher
because everything’s free?
For you and for me?
I can have them on loan?
I can take them all home?
And there isn’t a cost,
unless one gets lost?
A poem for Wolverhampton Libraries by Emma Purshouse.
