On my way home today, I stopped at Oblong Books in Rhinebeck, NY. There was a sign in the poetry shelf, "Stealing is Not Nice." Why there of all places? Do people steal poetry?
Oh, to live in such a world.
Where poetry is stolen, rather than ignored. Oblong has two entire poetry bookcases.

People are reading poetry. :=D.
Such joy, poetry robbers! Perhaps they are like Robin Hood and whisper lines they have stolen to strangers on public transport ...
I picture students from nearby Bard College doing exactly that, starting a trend, guerrilla poetry.
