Matthew W. Schmeer - St. Louis, Missouri (USA):

April 07, 2001:
This is the book that remained unread on a shelf near the
    bed when I was reading others to lull me with words forming
    on my tongue in sleep.
This is the book I received as gift but returned to the
    store without a receipt that I ended up buying five years later
    on a trip to that store with the friend who gave me
    the book as a gift and remembered.
This is the book with its pages carved out to hide a
    flask while in church.
This is the book I lent to a friend who died in
    a car wreck, her body embracing the steering wheel, the pages flung
    open on the dash.
This is the book. This is the book. This is the book.
    This is the book. This is the book. The book.
