This Coconut Soap

Was this for you, this block of soap, a natural product made in Fiji? Was it not for you? Certainly it was not for me.

I have no need for hand-crafted, natural-oil coconut soap, although it has come in handy holding the pages of these piled-up books open.

Yes, I think it was for you. And although it works well on the books late at night, and although it has been sitting here now for days in front of this keyboard where I frequently find myself, it does not seem to belong.

Perhaps you saw it sitting here and thought I had grown attached to it. Perhaps you thought better than to take a book-weight away from a man with many books. Perhaps then, you thought you'd just let me keep it.

But there was no need to think that. And I think that these 110 grams (when packed) of natural-oil, hand-crafted coconut soap should be yours.

Here, I insist.
