When you are reading a book
And in the midst
Of a great chapter
You feel a tug on your chest
And suddenly
You are there
Living that book
And you are exhilarated
When that character jumps off a cliff
Or takes down the bad guy
And you can feel the sudden wind
The onrush of emotions
Tingling in your soul
But then
Right as the character makes a last stand
You hear
“TIME FOR DINNER!”
And you close the book
Realizing that you are here
Not in that book
And you head downstairs
For dinner
But after dinner
That book will be waiting
For you to pick it up
And finish that chapter
