Fog on her glasses

From the still steaming coffee

A book in her hand

As she casually reads.

A catch in her breath

As the climax grows near

She's deaf to the world:

The book's all she can hear.

She's completely lost now,

Or perhaps she is found

In this strange paper world

That's far from the ground.
