ONE-BOOK AUTHOR
A one-book author begins to use his book
as everything: pillow, plate, pie safe. The book,
overjoyed to expand
its usefulness, erupts in pleasure,
contains the sting of jumping down from someplace
when your feet are very cold, and a girl
who, taught about charlatans, runs
right into one's arms.
When read, the author's one book
mentally caresses its tree
lying nude on the bed
of a long truck toward
its transformation.
