Book Ends of Life

Chloe Viner

Marilyn Monroe was wearing pearls
when they found her body,
she insisted on being elegant even in death.

Eli Weasel says to judge a book by its
first sentence
but if you judge people that way
they nearly always fail

Books can be read
and tell the content
of what is written between their
stoic masses.

So much is told in the beginning and ends
that the middle might as well
be dead weight,
urging on existence
but containing no details
as to the substance.

You can yearn for a middle
you can even live in the middle
but you can read the most
from the ends.
