In Love with Reading

Stuck in a corner
With a dim light over me
Looking at the words
Building a mental picture in my mind
I see the words getting blurry
I pull it back.
Tried putting it down
But, too good to resist.
Turn on the room’s light
Grabbed a pencil
Got paper
Replayed the mental picture
Recorded it.
