the bookshop
in the Old Mill at Alvechurch
new and second-hand
curated by a young bibliophile
with a fondness for fantasy.
I paid eleven pounds
for a slim volume of Tolkein,
gilded leather cover,
the pages so thin
they were transparent.
I gave it to a college friend
who never read it
and used the pages for spliffs.
