best seller

you buy the latest
best seller
that anyone
with eyes
is reading.
the secret lives
of da vinci
bees with tattoos,
or something
like that.
and it's embarrassing
to say that you
can't get through
the first ten
pages without
throwing it across
the room, so you
smile and say that
you don't want to
ruin the movie
by reading it
and creating in
your mind the plot
and characters,
the fine points
of the story,
you'd rather someone
else do it
for you and enjoy
it that way.
