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.
