Don’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover

Spied amongst the bargain paperbacks

Lilac words beckoned

Dragging me from my cappuccino

The title

A question

A statement

Requiring me to open virgin pages

Demanding my attention

Sucking me in

Flushing, recognising

My ego, subconscious

Had transferred itself

Into black and white

For all to see

Quickly slipping

This truth

Beneath a dark coat

Deviant, excited

I left

Unchallenged
