You crack the spine, a puff of dust,
A scent of knowledge, age, and trust.
It smells of paper, glue, and time,
A quiet, academic crime.
The scent of fifty different hands,
From this and other, distant lands.
A smell that takes you back to when,
The world was written with a pen.
A scent of knowledge, age, and trust.
It smells of paper, glue, and time,
A quiet, academic crime.
The scent of fifty different hands,
From this and other, distant lands.
A smell that takes you back to when,
The world was written with a pen.
