By the book
She reads books,this is where it all begins.
"Planning the crime of the century,"
was just a way to pass a rainy day
in the library
in Kidderminster
but here she is
leading Crusher, Sparks and The Countess
through the British Museum at three a.m.
with a silenced pallet truck.
He reads books
this is how it all begins.
He reads "Lives of The Real Detectives,"
which seemed harmless enough
while he waited for the 7:15.
The radio coughs nervously,
a glance at Constable Granger,
a nod to Dave from the Art Squad.
They've all seen the shadows moving
on the other side of the glass.
She's read: "Alarm Systems Explained."this is how it all begins.

at some length.
"Traps -- their design and construction."
"The Great Escapologists.""Anatomy of a Manhunt."
"Losing Yourself in London.""Forensics for Beginners."
An abandoned factory in Croydon --
armed-police converge.
But she's memorised:armed-police converge.
"Victorian Sewers Revealed."
And he's left
flipping the pages
of "Sealed Room Mysteries,
Volume 4."
She opens a small bookshop.flipping the pages

He's in there buying
"Should you Trust Books?"

They nod.
