Notes About The Poem

This poem is in the form of a Antanclasis. Pb, the symbol for Atomic Element #82 Lead. I am using heteronyms (lead vs. lead (pronounced led).

Which is it

If I take a book and read
And the initiative and I lead 
Or if I finish a book I’ve already read
I am a follower if I've not lead

So, if I’ve read
But don’t take the lead
Because I’ve already been lead
To what I currently read

Depending on the context
Or the speech
Lead can be lead and read read
(It can also be read Pb)
