A draught of thought =/= a draft of soft

Pretty covers hide dreck more often than riches
Unopened books, an arm's length away
Potential, hopes, and wishes
It is safer to walk on by
Rather than try

Who chooses the safe way?

  1. I'd say try. There are a lot of great books out there, if only we knew which ones by the covers.

    Love that you used "dreck".

  2. Yeah but some books look great but then the next day you wake up in your underwear, in a dumpster, with your money/car/keys/life gone.
    Maybe the cover and a couple pages are enough. : j
    Is dreck not used much? I guess not! It doesn't recognize the word! : p
