"Wormhole Word"

A book is but a key to my gothic mind,
That not only unlocks the imagination;
Enquiries into the nature of reality.
   ~Gibson, K. Dick and Shelley

They enfuse me with the spirit of quicksilver;
As ideas flow all around me 'self.'
When I walk inside holistic libraries.
   ~Shakespeare, Bachman and Tesla

The world is but a pace near - too far
When words are just not enough,
A tome always seems ready for me.
   ~Anthony, Hardy, and Maupassant

For elaboration and minor circumlocution,
Few gifts can match the butterfly effect,
Of sharing idea[l]s with a friend or a love.
   ~Card and Steakley and Pahlahniuk

*Driven by anxiety of recent events and attempting to recapture a fantasized youth.
KineticWardrobe asked me to write a poem about how I feel about books, so here it is.

First person for your pleasure.
