heavy books
we are taught in school
that the average person
has nothing important to say,
that only the great minds should be studied,
that only those who
have been wounded by
god in the heart and mind
should be memorized
and recitedbut
i have heard stray
comments
from faceless
voices
while waiting for coffee
or buying gum,off-handed lines
that lift me
higher than
the heaviest
books
