NEW ORLEANZEE:I WON'T SEE THE SIGN OF THAT GOOD OLE BOOKSTORE

Dr.Faramarz Soleimani:I Won't See The Sign of That Good Ole Bookstore

I won't see the sign of that good ole bookstore

In the shadow of green awning

I won't meet maggie

Waving and smiling

behind the culture bar

I won't smell the old smell 

Of paper and print

I won't find 

People reading their bokks 

In the book club

-Are we going to have finale on book club?

_ I don't know!

May be.

_What are you going to do after this?

-I don't know.

It is going to be tough for you.

-I know.

-May be start looking for a new bookstore.

-May be.

The intersection of Bordeaux Street and Tchapotoulas 

Looking gray and windy

Old books and oak leaves mingling under 

And Komcot tree

Then my book box was full and heavy.

Is that true that I won't see 

The green shadow of awning with 

Mc Keown sign?!

She will be back 

I'm sure 

A book lover never retreats.
