I Am The Sub-librarian

I Am The Sub-librarian

I am the sub-librarian
Come in on the council bus –
Chalk Farm to Highgate Woods
Sportsbag of borrowed books

A steady diet of Brautigan
‘Tapestry’ on the walkman
Paranormal ill-health from dusting off the top shelf

I am the sub-librarian, counter girl, tea-maker
I am the sub-librarian, swan feeder, spectacle breaker
I am the sub-librarian
