Library Routine 
        By R.Andrew 

The time has come to make the call, 

to raise your voice and to count down out aloud.

 Flash all the lights, take a deep breath, and stare out at the beyond.

  

“The library is closing in: 30 minutes…15 minutes…10 minutes…

5 minutes…

THE LIBRARY IS NOW CLOSED!”

The lights are off and the chairs are pushed in; 

all doors are now locked, and no patrons are within.

 Goodnight, to all books, shelved orderly within each aisle. 

Adieu, to the warm computers, that will soon cool 
in the lone dark.  

  
Tomorrow will bring more books to be shelved…

more holds to pull down…But for now, there is only home.
