still from #1 and the finding of things in books...
in Halifax
the Harbour waters still foul and stinking, then
in a bookstore
Guarded by an Iron knight, stacked of used treasure
maps, nautical tales, religious tracts,
works of fiction and building materials
philosophy found me a book: Voltaire
curiosity found the unexpected inside: green ink
ad-lib preface? Penned inscription? Disputation?
The beginning is unexpected, "being of sound body and mind..."
dated Year of Our Lord 1942, Edmonton.
More treasure bought than expected.
More written than listed on covers.
