5041 Wilson Avenue South
July 12, 1996
Opened two month ago
      the only bookstore in the south . . .
After he says this
I take another look
of the owner of
Take Another Look bookstore.
      When I read books I know
I'm not the only one who did . . .
      When I read books I know
I'm not the only one who thought . . .
      When I read books I know
I'm not the only one who criticized . . . .
      . . . applauded . . .
            . . . wondered . . .
I'm not the only one who dreamed that . . .
      . . . could and would and should happen
for at least the 50 seconds I spend memorizing the first line.
I guess residents of Seward Park were never taught to read
well enough
to demand
a bookstore
before May 1996
