O, but compare your exterior to your interior,
And you seem even more spectacular!
This crisp, wan pages hold your ever-flowing but never truly living lifeblood –
The narrative spread across those leaves often makes me question you, but I am not hindered by your complexity!
No, I see your mass and know that inside,
Entire worlds, no, galaxies await me!
With a simple turn of the page, I can turn
Over a new or old leaf, leaping wherever into time you might take me!
Your magnificent leather hide may make you
Seem horrendous, but that will not stop
Me from cracking you open and seeing
Everything you have to offer, all of the
Knowledge and adventure instilled within!
