THE VIEW FROM LIMBO
We used to be close, but now
You spend too much time reading
THAT BOOK
What is the fascination?
You never show emotions
In your day-to-day routine
As that volume can inspire
IS THE STORY
A work of classic fiction?
Will it become a movie?
A compelling biopic?
It is a biography
But not a very long one
Still, for years you have read…and read
Ignoring my discomfort
These should have been the best years
OF MY LIFE
Limbo is a book I know very well. :)
ReplyDeletei think we are familiar with that book. it holds us captive knowing fully well the ending might not be the one we like.
ReplyDeleteA totally interactive book which just won't read as we want it to.
ReplyDeleteThanks to:
ReplyDeletebrian; Others know the book, have read it - but don't really let the words sink in.
rebecca; Possibly because we often allow other influences to dominate.
anthonynorth; Wouldn't it be good if we could write our autobiography before we started?
