Russell's Book Store

The customers
ascend and descend
the continuous staircase,
to discover old books waiting on wooden shelves
for new friendships.
The appetite for cook books,
the search for logic in philosophy,
the mystery of romance in novels,
the books that explore landscapes;
ethnic languages that communicate diversity on the world.
The customers stroll down the aisle of polished wood floors
immersed in thought rustling pages of classic literature
of music and poetry,
which play a role in
discovering a shared moment
between the customer
and Russell's legendary book store.

Anne Cookson
