Finishing the Term
in the Library
It was most likely me
I’m remembering, one
of the last to leave,
to finish not sleeping
in the red leather chair.
Three floors down
from street level. Trying
to write the last sentence
of a semester’s paper.
Trying to become more
complete all by myself.
There in the stacks
there was another book
I’d rather be reading
and not searching for
a word to send me
home. Home being up
three flights, where tonight’s
late night librarian was closing
his book. Reading being all
he could do to pass the course
of his time. To close the big door
behind him. To turn off
the magnificent, fading, central
hall light. So the two of us could
walk out together, him to his car
and me to my passing, now-I’m-done
summer.
