Boxes with books, I’m sending every superfluous
book
to Musina from where they can be carted to
Zimbabwe
by the big trucks passing through there,
also every hidden
magazine, maybe my sis can start
her own library for the
children who cannot get to
luxuriously equipped learning
centres
The possibilities are endless, with magical books
around,
who can tell what the future will bring?
I have stockpiled
books, old encyclopaedias, all
supplanted by the Internet
but sorely lacking in
rural areas, the books could not go
before I had
found a place where they are needed
- I can't
wait to start packing
And stacking and
checking and playing with these books,
making
sure they are ready for adventure, ready for a trip
to their final destiny – not the local rubbish dump
or a
shredder as you have so often said, breaking
my heart
with your lack of sympathy!
