Changing Into a Literary Character
Which character
will you be changed into today?
Perhaps Alexander Portnoy
or Bilbo Baggins
You should take note
of the way you read
and not become part
of a story you didn't like
After all - you are
not a fictional character
You are something
real
like the earth, sky
and moon
You exist in real time
Reading is a nice way
to fantasize
Don't get caught between
the pages
You'll find yourself crashing
into the dark waters of unreality
Adrift in a sea of dreams
you'll get lost
and you won't be able
to escape
Do you really think
you can find a way
in and out
of a made up world?
Good luck to you
with that one
