Another World
Sitting on the couch with a pillow behind my head.
The television is on but I do not hear it.
I don't see or hear the person in the room.
I am engrossed in a book.
I have entered the world I am reading.
All day I lay and read.
I get up to drink, eat, and use the bathroom.
The person in the room finally enters my mind.
He says, "Its time for bed."
I sigh and say, "Just one more chapter!"
Three hours later I finish the book.
Smiling I go to bed.
