Thanks, Pat, Max. Yes, more than the bodice ripped here. Have gone with your suggestions, Doug - plus a little more excision - and tipped final three stanzas into present tense.

How to read
at the end of the road,
a book, lying with pages
sprawled open
by morning breeze?
Drive on, get mail,
return to road.
More pages turned.
Stop.
Get out.
What can this book be,
winking at me?
Uh huh ...
Danielle Steele,
from page
forty one,
coverless.
