Illustration by Sheri Kim
We are all books with covers
Sitting on a shelf
Of different heights and colours
And stories to tell
We are all waiting
To be picked up
For someone to open up to
And to be loved
We are all books with covers
The quotes on the back are our best parts
Our summaries have no ending
Because no one knows what they are
We are all books with covers
Which are more or less
to do
with what we’re about
The fonts are aesthetically pleasing
And the pictures of us are pretty
but no one
figures them out
We are behind the covers
But if the book is not opened,
Do we make a sound?
