Please Solve the Following Problem

The book won’t open.
You have the title
And the author’s name,

But it won’t open.
You try to calm down.
This is not a dream.

This is a problem.
You have the right book,
But it won’t open.

We’ll have to pretend.
If you could read this,
What you’d discover

Would not be stories
Or a new science
Or any self help.

If you could read this,
You’d see a figure
On a white sand beach

On a moonless night.
The surf’s low. The wind
Blows sand in the waves.

The figure sits there,
As if dunes were chairs,
A book in the lap.

The book won’t open.
It has to stay closed.
The wind is too strong.
