"Why do You Read?"
You ask me why I read. You pluck the book out of my hands and away from my roving eyes, letting it flip to a random page, losing my place. You peer at the text, glance at the summary, grimace, and once again ask me why I read. You let out a disdainful snort and let the book tip out of your hand onto my desk, crumpling the pages beneath it. And as you turn back around in your seat to converse with your friends about girls and football, I pick up my second hand Mass Market Paperback, and I thumb through in search of my page, careful not to go beyond it lest my eyes glimpse the future. I return to my reading.
