Books are a way to lose yourself
You can pick it up
Stare at its cover
Maybe even have to brush dust of it

Next you open it
Words, letters, tumbling and littering,
Those blanched parchment pages
And endless sea of possibilities

Then the escape
The moment you fall down the rabbit hole
And immerse yourself in the plot
New life, unreal

Finally the character
The person you fashion yourself into
To experience the story
Only to be thrust back to reality
