2nd hand mentality

There...
there is the pin
glory center
of my 2nd hand mentality
there is the reason
why I run through the cheapest shelves...
obscure book collecting
fueled by fire Nijinsky idiot
bringing home
all the ugliest wordscalps
choosing the worst possible
authors
you can think of...
stopping Kali-sheltered eyes on cheap
how-to's
why-not's
& still sacred poets
of the underrated mire:
all Frenchmen, all keen on the devil
one brainscrewed
German screenwriter...

there: see all those S&M
saloons
visits... drop from these pages
like honeymoon dancers

there...
there is the pin
on reading
the Fountain of Hyacinth
hallways alit in candles
& brewery sparkled
in clear Cracow
spray verse

there...
there is this 2nd hand feeling again:
her dress didn't come
from a store
you might've
heard of...
the girl herself
don't come from starshine areas
other than
cheap brocade
star-alike dots
in the 2nd hand's entrance
window
