Scribbled notes filling the margins
Mix like cream into coffee,
Softening the rich, pungent plot,
Blending a previous traveler’s
Steps through the storyline
With my own.
Underlined passages
On each yellowed page
Outline a fresh perspective,
Accenting hidden treasures,
While earmarked sheets
Smudged with fingerprints
Or tears
Play a soft,
Sentimental symphony.
