Article voiceover
I love the Cairo Public Library
Debra, librarians,
all those books
Mohsin Hamid yesterday
people who’ve been writing
every Thursday for years
our class began
at Slater’s supermarket
we started in the canned vegetable aisle
moved to frozen foods,
joining criteria:
shopping at Slaters
we moved to the library
been there for years
always a highlight of summer
yesterday readers were
better than ever: they write
about bats,
being an extra in a movie,
love, romance,
driving an RV
Last night we even sang
Good Night Irene
