Hardbacks

a new rule...
placed to govern...
meant to alleviate a problem...
an edict issued....

no hardbacks allowed...
too heavy to hold while reading...
only paperbacks permitted...
a book club bibliophile writhes at the notion...

what constitutes too big...
dare to define it...
a hundred pages...
a thousand...
tome versus primer...

mandate a weight designation...
before the content settles...
after it settles...
magnum opus versus cereal box...

fat unwieldy treatises fall to fat unyielding bookworms...
now skinny great works...
easy to hold...
fast reads...
herald the future
