GLORIOUS BOOKMAN


Glorious Bookman
had all the trappings
befitting his name,
but unfortunately
they were ill-gotten
and half rotten
 to begin with,
and the trappings
ended up trapping
and rotting
the man instead.

It happens
when you outspend
overreach
pursuing some need
of greedy necessity.
You never arrive
at the perceived destination.
Never fully receiving
Your preconceived destiny
or self-deceived legacy

A name is just the cover
The rest is
in the book
whether you wrote it,
Or just compiled
a file of 
blank pages
