Paper Reality

Reality ain’t got nothin on fantasy.

I get so sad when I finish a book.

It’s only when I begin to remind myself,

I am a book,

My story is just as good as theirs.

My pages just as intriguing.

It’s only when I lie to myself

That I can walk in a straight line

That my ribs begin to expand again

That the pain that comes from leaving a word behind

Begins to subside

But then I read another book
