A Listener from the Radio

A Saturday morning at the noodle stall in the rains, a librarian who heard the river slot: Jack from the radio, aren't you; that's me, about boats; I run a story-reading circle; aloud? I read slowly; all the better, the tongue slows down; he reads my menu every morning, two pages; one book, twenty tales, a page a week; a page at a time, I'll come: the counting words of a storyteller.
