zero times six rotations around the earth

by Kyle Anne Kish

high alert,
protection status
zero times
six rotations
around the earth

which brings me
right back to my
bed, calmly
reading a book.

slipping in and out
of this self induced
coma, i try one
more time to carry
myself away,
away to other worldly
worlds where pipers
play and mice follow
them right to the flowing
river

jumping in and realizing
itÂ’s too late not to take
the plunge as the icy
waters carry them
below the surface

which brings me
right back to my
bed, calmly
reading a book.

I really like how this zooms in and out from outer space (beam me up Scotty!) to your bed to cuddling the pied piper back to an icy plunge...brrrrrr back to snuggling a cuddly book... great zoom!

:) I've never thought that way about reading a book

Isn't it amazing where we can go, what we can do, and who we can be while still being safe and warm in our beds? Good idea of the concept of reading.

I love the continual warmth and safety of the bed...no better place to read a book! I went looking for a new book to read tonight, Wonderful Inspiration!
