#2,598 They’ve refurbished it
They’ve refurbished it –
a
dim library –
now brightly
lit to be met
[not tawdry]
& warmed to keep aulder
bodies alive –
librarians‘ll
greet enquiries
[still] –
but
more said
[they aren’t all
scary sentries] –
Hunched
silver surfers tap at keys –
jangling nerves –
internet
does not work –
& equally
tutted observations –
less
about books
[& browsing
those back-end indices] –
more about an accessing
of other resources –
there
are less words these days
