"Book"

Open the book

Feel the mud between your toes
Clean feet remain yours
Only the one looking knows

Feel your hair wisp with wind

Count the clouds that are mere pretend
It's all so real to you; you hold the traveling window
Warm it is there, though, you travel through thin snow

When will it end?

How will you see?
Are you seeing, now?
Has this come to be?

Knowing only what you learn

Seeing only what you see
Fall forever into your open book
Hold your nose, make a splash, open your eyes, and see me.
