of reading the wrong book - poem

Of reading the wrong book

You should be afraid

Henry David Thoreau says you have no time

Except for that which is sublime.

How does one be selective?

and from what prospective

That is my eternal question.

because of the way

they make an impression

In what they convey.

Thus we have a list

Of that which can be kissed
