Busines

“Then indecision brings its own delays,
And days are lost lamenting o'er lost days.
Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute;
What you can do, or dream you can, begin it;
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The problem with bookstores,
is that they are full of unknowns.
See our bookshelf at home is full of familiar faces;
just by glancing at the spines I could tell you the stories lying quietly within as well
as a multitude of random quotes,
[if you're thinking of clearing out,
it may be a while before you see food again.]
but a bookstore...
it's pretty much a house of rectangular prisms
each trying to advertise their interiors with pretty fonts and well written blurbs
all of them extroverted, none of them friendly.
Purchase is permanent.
Choose as you will.

By the way, the second 's' was left off the title on purpose. It's a riddle, like
