Public

I recall why I don't like libraries.
One man snorts back oysters of snot.
The one beside me
clears his throat every ten seconds
mumbles to himself. Tuts.
I like quiet. Not the phlegmy noises
of the public.
I don't know why so many of them
are wearing hats indoors.
I see one is clicking through
google images of Susan Hampshire.
I want to go home.
