15,736. WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW?

WHAT ARE YOU READING NOW?
Timetables mostly. The damned things never
run on time, yet they keep posting these lines.
Everything goes back to source, as I see it,
and it should be by an easy method. Youngstown
to Pittsburgh; New York and Albany bound.
-
I left Lima, Ohio, for Cleveland; a simple
northeast  -  it was basic direction, nothing
forward, nothing back. And then I made
it to Williamsport, Pa; but there wasn't a
rail to be found. The library there was
filled with only baseball books  -  Little
Leaue World Series stuff, and batting tips.
-
What's a person to do, generally, when
the books and the idols are gone? When
the turgid believers have all left for home?
What are you reading now? A guidebook
to ancient Rome?
