Light Blue Plastic Universe

I am the universe in light blue plastic.
Use me for knowledge use me for sport
find King Arthur on the shelf next to
football and how to border quilts.
Pockets are damnable but wallets are worse.
Give me a child who carries me free
and easy, clicking against change,
paperclips and wrappers in gentle satisfaction.

The card from the store tracks your purchase.
I track your discoveries.
The card from the store gives you access
to the same old things you bought before.
I give you access to forgotten authors
long dead waiting for new readers,
fresh voices among packaged plots.
I give you glimpses of your needs not wants.
