Rhyme
What do you do when you read a book?
You may find an alternate universe
through which you dive into, curled up in a little nook.
When you have a book, you will want to carry it around in your purse,
to keep it with you at all times, even when you cook.
You won't want to put it down for a second.
There will be times when you will want to yell
at the characters, or wish you could have beckoned
them to say farewell
to that one character despised by all.
You may get extremely attached to that book,
especially the characters, as if their world were a cell
in your body, living within you, feeling their every fall,
ever triumph, every ring of a bell.
Before you know it, the story will come to an end
and you will want to curse
at the author for the unsatisfying conclusion. Do not dwell
on it for too long, for you will find a new book
to enjoy in a cozy little nook.
