The Bookish Child
If they say that blessed is the girl who has
her head in a book
and her mind in the stars
then she
must be the most blessed of all.
Her mind lands foreign and imaginary,
a set always playing in the back of her head.
They call her crazy
when her face lights up
and no one is around.
Little do they know that there are people,
thousands of them,
keeping the girl company
all her
days.
