I love my library
it is small enough to be quaint
but big enough to be inspiring
i go to the largest university in canada
but you'd never know it
from looking at my little library
situated in the snow,
its so silent
the view from the window is of the Toronto skyline
outside there is bustling
there is hurrying
there is honking
but
my little library houses only the sounds
of students typing
of pages turning
and
of occasional crunching (of those forbidden snacks)
students glance at their watches
knowing that it will be another long night
but as i sit by the fireplace
and look at endless pages that need to be read
i smile with delight
because
in my little library
we're all in this together
