Rocked up at work, all confused, <br />we discussed books we loved as <br />kids, Hanlie reminiscences about <br />Bible and Vicky Villard Stories - I <br />recall a garage stacked with book- <br />club detective novels, hands killing <br />victims by giving them a fright in the <br />night, she read comic books at school <br /> <br />We got gargantuan amounts of photo- <br />books from grandma De Lange while <br />grandma Alice subscribed to Reader's <br />Digest, we read Shangri-La and Beau <br />Geste so condensed - they lacked all <br />fire and spice, only an outline left, then <br />I tried tackling a document, International <br />Warrant of Arrest - my mind wandering <br /> <br />Listening to an André Rieu DVD playing <br />because cold silence punctuated by the <br />tapping of keyboards is a symbol of the <br />end of all life; with Carmen and Zorba on <br />my earphones engaging my heart, I shall <br />try again to relay the quaint legalese of the <br />warrant of arrest - a literary masterpiece<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/literary-masterpiece/
