Within that place of wonders,
treasures, meaning,
our city’s history,
our noble past.
Descending the stairs
into the lower level
the children’s room
of the Westfield Athenaeum.
Going to my treasured place
following the Dewey Decimal
the section, the rows,
mysteries to unfold.
Finding adventures
in the biographies of heroes
John Paul Jones, Davy Crockett,
those who won the west.
Falling in love with words
finding peace down there
opening new worlds
descending the stairs…
