Staff Picks

I never read the books recommended by the bohemian staff at the 

bookshops

I figured the books they liked were too morose as they never looked 

up

when I came in all happy I was in their little cul de sac of books

after work resenting me for interrupting their reading

so what they liked to read I figured would make me feel the same way.

maybe I missed out, I can't be sure.we all make mistakes and

I didnt see every employee.

Maybe there were one or two who only worked in the back

and were exceedingly cheerful doing so.

and found books to recommend that bristled with gladness.
