Annabelle lives in a place
where bookshelves
are censored
wooden, plastic, woven reed
these controlling tangibles
are controlled and outlawed here
Andrew on the other hand
lives where colophons are;
you know, these things with title,
names , year of print
or anything to identify source
cut out, filtered out, out dated these are
Alisha lives in a place
where paper is contraband
surely papyrus, parchment, leather-bound
or anything scraped for scraps
with ink blobs, ink odor, or ink smear
are controlled substances
Ali on the other hand
lives where the word ‘literature’
gets uttering people band
and ‘bande dessinée’
is a withering underground
silent-musical theater group
All live in a world
where inference is an only source
connecting the dots where others had not
trigger-happy mines of bitter patterns
secret assets as test data groups
driven by Moore’s Law and redacted data
Where reading is
reading people as books
