folded corners

Still Life with Books, attributed to William Notman

No one told me that bookmarks existed.
I had been folding the corners of these pages for so long.

No one told me I could highlight these lines
With such bright and beautiful colours.
I had been folding the corners of these pages for so long.

that I didn’t have to go through those long and dull parts
to find those lines that resonated,
*lines, I had now forgotten passages, I now missed.

I ruined my books with these folded corners and the torn pages,
cause I had been folding these pages for so long,
cause no one taught me how to care
and I was taught so wrong.
