Book Worm


Book Worm

Inhaling novels, essays, and poems
Swallowing verbs, nouns, and adjectives like handfuls of pills
Mental escapes from suffering and hate, anesthetizing motives
Self-medicating on creativity’s playground
Chugging short stories numb like cheap wine deals
Mortal horrors dissolve into mystic dream-worlds
Exhaling rhymes fortifying spiritual rebounds
