alright
I read too much
can knock out two three four novels
a week
doesn’t matter what it is
if its words
I’m reading
I know this can be a little
irritating
to the general public of my life
but
I
can’t
stop
and I won’t
reading is not a crime
I do however have to listen
to
the lecture
you really need to move you know
you really need to pay attention
to your life
your gona wake up one day and it will all be over
blah blah blah
half the time I tune it out
especially if I’m at a good scene
one that wraps me up
and makes me there
and then I nod and say uhuh and
I know I know
and back in goes my nose
how
does one explain to a nonreader
what reading is
how it can pick you up and sweep you
into another time and place
how the words laid out on a page
can
jump into your heart
bringing laughter and tears
with a turn of the page
a miracle this
this thing we have called
reading
and I shall read
till I die
till my eyes poke out of my head
and
dream the big dream
of
doing it myself
but
a little exercise is not
a
bad
idea
