A Night With the Books

Julie Kovacs

Once isn’t enough
what is it with those people constantly
harboring me
the breakfast table is far from peaceful
I’m placed at the center for everyone
to pick and nag at
no wonder I don’t eat in the mornings
all I do is wash the dishes
clean the kitchen
go back to my room
and get my books
ready for the library where I can stay
in peace for several hours
concentrating on something else
besides a family that seems to live for nagging.
If I am lucky the public library
can lease space to me overnight
since my family’s tax dollars already pay for
the public library service.
