"When I die bury me with my books, or perhaps cremate me with them. For my soul resides in their pages, and my life revolved around them once. Dig my grave near a library so I can visit it every night."

I'm actually alone
Imbibing my solitude
Like a plants absorbs the sunrays
I'm glowing;
exquisitely radiant
drinking in my alone time
But it still feels like I'm carrying the world
The world on my back;
and I keep falling face first in the sand.
