Read
Reading can be thus and more,
I took a magazine to discover more,
My eyes riveted on page one,
Messages flew to my brain,
Prioritizing the things that were on,
I chose that were of importance and interest,
Benchmark for both were already fed in the brain,
I read each word of such paras,
Adjusting sight of eye full length,
The mind comprehended each word,
Till its read value was registered in,
For the rest when the eye shifted on them,
Messages flew to my brain,
That what I was about to read,
Was of no interest or importance,
At the back of the mind it also had the obligation,
Nevertheless to read full on,
So lazily eyes flitted across fast,
Reading half words and comprehending just the broad mean,
I flipped and flipped doing about the same,
Now I know what it is to read to get on.
