There, Perusing in the Library ( A Keen Observation)

you grow big
in the library
you can rest
and take a nap
you take a break
from daily routine
yes, you're at peace
(with less/no stress)
in the library
quiet and roomy
cozy and comfy
despite the sound
of computer keys
and whispers of users
you feel relaxed
amused and excited
again, you feel good
while in the library
you roam around
go places you like
you soar, you roar
in your mind
in the library
you can be full

again, in the library
you read and watch
and play and hear
the books and magazines
newspapers and posters
that surround you
and others there
in the library
there's a smile
a delightful one
that's spontaneous
from reading an article*
in TNYT magazine
that made your day
complete.
