End To End
That first book
That last book
That next book
That other book
Beginning and ending in the middle
-they all turn out the same
The first book
The last book
The middle book
The forgotten book
Memory plagues that already said
-only to be said again
The first book
The last book
The borrowed book
The successful book
Images recreated
-as words jump page to page
The first book
The last book
The closing book
The memory book
An orchestra calls a final waltz
-its conductor off the stage
The promised book
The distant book
The transforming book
The forever book
Sameness trapped a clone of time
-as difference strikes again
That finished book
That published book
That famous book
That holy book
All critics choking in the dark
-light burning end to end
