book shopping. [wonderful]

i've noticed that book shopping
is only "productive" in a sense
for me when i am alone. i like
to walk amid the rows and get
lost in the colors, fonts, and
possibilities of what lie among
the shelves. each color and
lettering combination holds a
mystery in its pages. i never
know what the story will be like.
i never know how it will go.
but i always get a sense of
satisfaction when i read it.

i walked away with four books
neatly placed into the Borders
logo plastic bag. clutched in my
fist i walked towards my car and
ventured off to other thing.

but today i started reading one
and finally, a feeling that i have
been wanting to feel again, i have
let myself get lost and lose track
of time all together. hours can pass
on by and i don't notice anything.
