I really love this poem, it's from a poem book but it's really cool.

The First Book

Open it.

Go ahead, it wont bite.

Well.... maybe a little.

More a nip, like. A tingle.

It's pleasurable, really.

You see, it keeps opening.

You may fall in.

Sure, it's hard to get started;

remember learning to use

knife and fork? Dig in:

You'll never reach bottom.

It's not like the end of the world---

just the world as you think

you know it.
