Why do you have so few books on your poetry shelf

It is because I adore poetry

Do you write poetry

Yes

Published

Yes

Have I read any of your books

I doubt it

Why

Because you are blind

I ask again why only two books

Because that is all I need

What is the other book

Gaspard de la Nuit

I cannot say that I have read this book

That does not surprise me

Why

Because you are blind

Before I leave may I ask you a question

Please do

You have been blind since birth

Yes

Do you think that you are beautiful

I am very beautiful

Apart from the possibility of touch

How do you know that you are beautiful

And secondly how did you know about the two books on my shelf

I dream

You dream

Yes

Do you dream about your outstanding beauty

Every night

Do you dream about my poetry books

Alone on the shelf

They are not alone

How can they be alone

As there are two books

On your lonely shelf
