Critical Experience

To become conversant,
Even knowledgeable,
About experience

You have never yourself
Experienced, is that
Not what language is for?

The original book
Review was a report
Of a reality

Belonging to someone
Other than the person
Who then repeated it

As if it were something.
Known. Every book lover
Knows more books from reviews

Than cover to cover,
And all who have language
Borrow most of those views.
