Thanks! It's something I've wanted to express for a while now.

I think it's the first poem I've written in 10 years. It's also the first creative writing I've done that hasn't been at night. For some reason, I almost only write creatively after I've been awake for 15+ hours. I came up with it this morning. Weird.

Every great once in a while I find myself at a loss for something to do at 2am and I write poetry. But that's absolutely the only time. Is weird.

This is a great example of the poem subverting the original idea in the last stanza, which is a good trick to master. I liked it.

I'm glad it worked. I'm actually not happy with the title. It ought to be "Unfinished Books," but I'm afraid of ruining the intent. The current title was a discontented compromise…
