The Book We Both Read

I read the same book as you.

I thought about smoothing out the corners

of the pages you’d folded.

Page 50. Condition: Lack of Courage

Page 54. Condition: Dissatisfaction with Life

Page 65. Condition: The Need for Moral Guidance

But I realised you weren’t done with them.

I folded another corner.

Page 34. Poem: Everything is Going to be All Right

And put the book back where you’d left it.
