The Librarian

When I answer shrink questions

I look it up in the index of my mind,

surprised, as a student librarian might be

the answer's there at all. Meanwhile

with concern in the eyes, they ask

how it feels, why hadn't I said anything.

Well, you see, I too didn't know

that book was even back there;

and now, with a smile, I'll put it back.

There are a lot of books--

some are easy, others difficult.

Try not to make it mean too much.
