on Bookmarks

I am not a fan of bookmarks. They are just something else to worry about holding onto. I remember the page number.

However, I am a fan of finding bookmarks in old books that I have acquired second-hand. I have quite the collection these days. My favorite so far is one that I acquired today. I love the way it smells, the way the edges are browning, and the very fact that I may be holding one of the last relics of a store that probably no longer exists. I love how it says "opposite Columbia University."



... or maybe it is just really dirty.
