Reading at Night

Before I go to sleep
I like to read

Sometimes I read for hours
and hours
and hours
When the book is good

A glance at the clock
reminds me
I must get up in
in the morning

But other times
after a busy day
And I’m tired
I read the same paragraph

But other times
after a busy day
And I’m tired
I read the same paragraph

And I’m tired
I read the same

I read
the same
paragraph

I know when to stop
Good night, good book.
