Page Pause

While reading, the story because you and you are only your inner echoing words off a page.

Page Pause

In that moment when you put down your book

and rub your hands over your face

it’s not because you’re tired

or done reading

it is because in that moment

you are the book and the pages

are your limbs and the words

are you heartbeats

and all the chapters

are you children

and in that moment

you want to breath

and rub your face

and try to be human

and find your world again
