Sprouting Legs

By JD DeHart

The book, so popular, it
(anthropomorphic) produced
legs and went bopping away,

leaving shelf and reader's
roving eye,
to be watched as it bounced

down the hallway
toward the door to freedom,
where it would be treasured
or left under a bed

or covered with cat
urine or trashed entirely.
