Nota Bene



Scribbling in the margins

N.B. marks one place.

Etched there in black ink

that cannot be erased.

 

Such books are not just read,

but entirely consumed.

Save for yet another time,

digested some late afternoon.

 

Bookmarks are out to measure

all that we have lost.

Scribblings in the margins

can never be tossed.

 

Books never scathed with marks

may be treasures to behold.

Those etched with underlines

point to memories that are gold.
