READ PEOPLE, READ!!!!!!!

Books are to be opened
the cover, packaging
it doesnt matter
they change
one is to immerse
themselves in the
CONTENT
it appears that things remain superficial
and the Cliff or Spark notes
are the rage
it will take time
experience
knowledge
living
to realize
just what you missed
by taking the shortcut
there are those
who will travel the distance
in tandem
with you
so that neither
are solo
the "I"
becomes
"WE"
a team
in stride
together
OPEN THE DAMN BOOK
turn the pages of life
just because you have the book
on a shelf
doesnt mean you are enjoying it
or him or her
whichever it is to you
spend time with it
play with it
take it to the park
by the water
for a long ride on a bus
don't let it accumulate dust
caress it with your fingers
glide smoothly up and down the spine
undress the letters with your eyes
