Writing 201: Poetry, Day Six — Faces, Found Poetry, Chiasmus
(what the heck is Chiasmus?)

Booksellers Lament
Books in order means order in books
to find them is the key
with thousands of books the ONE that is wanted
is the one nowhere to be found.Well, it MUST be somewhere unless it was sold!
If order is everything and if everything is in order
the book business thrives, sporadically
(at least theoretically)
but only if you’re listing, they keep insisting
books on the shelves can’t sell themselvesan order’s an order but books MUST be in order
to fill the order–when there’s an order to fill.©Sometimes, 2016
