I thought I’d try reading again
But when my eyes scan across that off-white page
The words animate….
Slippery                               little
                                                                 *******.
            As I try                focus on                  one,
The  next j  s  l  s in front of it
                 o  t  e

What I’m about to read distracting
Me from what I am reading…..
Its not the spelling, I was always top at that!
Its pinning down the words
Comprehensible in sentence to a...ahem,
Into a comprehensible sentence,
While trying not to read the same line twice
The same line twice.
I’ve tried reading in blue, red, green,
With a reading ruler,
Reading glasses and
A magnifying glass
But the words
                       still        
                             keep
                                     falling
                                                off
                                                the
                                                page…..

And don’t get me started on numbers!!!
