A book of one's own

After I was turned away from the tiny library in Toledo for lack of pasaporte, I found myself in tears over a bilingual book of poetry by Billy Collins in a bookstore near my apartment.

And after losing myself to my favorite poet for two blocks, I have rationalized the 11 euros I charged and I'm not going to think about how few coins I have in my pocket now.
