Bought from the remainder bookshop
The waitress asks “is it a good book”
I tell her I run creative writing workshops
She says she studies poetry at university
We both, so it seems, enjoy reading
I tell her that this book, by Orhan Pamuk
Is about how we feel when we write novels
And yes, that the first chapter is brilliant
“I must remember that” she says
She puts my sandwich onto the table
And skips off down the stairs; I smile
