is what is unknown waste? if a book of words, known only to a few, waits, is it being forgotten, buried? does time make what little is known of something be less known until it recedes into the unknown altogether? if a book of words is buried by time is it waste? if a book of words is known by many is it merely appropriated? if something has been appropriated, has it been taken up, gathered, saved? if a book of words has been saved, was it in danger of being lost before? is a book of poetry appropriated waste?
