Even In the Library

Even in the library,

Workmen come to work their drills

They boldly break the silence

Piling wall upon wall

And window upon window

The quiet rooms are gone

With brief raucous squirts of sound

They complete the task

Then walls and windows

Are wheeled away

And we are left wondering

About the meaning of it all
