A treasure trove of knowledge

can be found within these doors

where for sale sit many volumes

which speak volumes of truth.

How then can one seek

to redeem such wisdom

in a manner unredeemable

to the wise amongst us?

How is it that some

can bypass

these great vaults of beauty

deeming them unworthy

of any further glance?

Bookshops

are the repository of reason

and society’s release valve

from the cares and concerns

of our most stressful world.
