Huge Cylinder on the Road

Huge cylinder of plastic sheet
Stood silently on the road
An opening then appeared
Cut by an invisible knife
Revealing volumes of works by Lu Xun
Free left overs, I suddenly remembered 
From a book sale on campus

Hilarious, I went over
But in a puff of smoke
It vanished
A trash truck passed, I was told
I saw a glimpse of of it
And frantically ran after it, driving fast
Then it stopped
Some workers got off from the flatbed 
Empty, when I got close
