My Library Valentine

Will you be my Library Valentine?
Neither one of us has dates, non-literary ones I mean.
I see you over there, in the romance novel section
busily scanning lovers' texts.
You're pretty cute, I guess...
I'm over here in the manga aisle, watching oriental automatons fight.
Let's meet halfway, in the romance manga section;
we can watch oriental robots love.
Together, you and me.
I heard Hemingway met Welsh in a library.
He browsed the Vaudeville papers, she the Blues quarterlies.
So, will you be my Library Valentine?
We can finger each other's pages all night long
Behind the reference desk.

Chapter 1: I Love You
