The Library

A stony silence greets

All who enter within

The confines and labyrinths

Of mysteries to be unfurled.

The rows of books look down

Watching and waiting

For a customer to grab and browse

To learn the secret inside.

A girl sits in the corner typing

Confidential information

That only she knows

But, one day her mystery too will be revealed.

10^th January 1995, North Acton, London, England.
