Face-Book
Reading my book with your face
Checking the front and back cover before opening
Inside reading all about me
Turning page after page with your tongue
In the middle of the story
Can’t wait to turn to next page
To see what my words are going to say
Your eyes move from word to word
While your lips quickly count the syllables in your head
You begin to read faster, faster
Quickly your tongue turns
Lips count
Head imagines what’s about to come next
Face expressions change with chapters
Reading my life as it is
As it will be
As it’s about to be
Tongue reaches the last page
Lips stop
Head waits
Eyes close
Face expression now
Smile
Book over but the end just started
