The Girl Who Ate Books
"I will confess!" she screams
They strap her down and draw from her depths
Reels and reels unravel
Characters larger than Life
A Cow over the Moon,
Black Beauty, Scheherazade
Boxer, A Spider, The Little Prince,
The O Sullivan Twins, Oliver Twist,
Darcy, Heathcliff, Jane,
Christopher O Boone,
Pi, Richard,
Neelkanth
...
This could go on sir
...
Lovers on balconies
Mad women in attics
Detectives with pipes
...
Now she's on about mystic lands sir
...
The Magic Faraway Tree,
Toytown, Hogwarts
Sweet Valley High
Nevernever land...
