Reading

I miss reading
for the past 5 months
ive read nothing new.

My mind has grown stale
like day old bread
its crisp gone.

I need something to read
something with substance
something unrelated
to nursing or medicine.

My imagination has dulled
like a knife left to the whims
of weather - useless.

I need a book
any book
as im getting desperate
each day.

I need fodder
for my brain,
help it run again.
Inject some critical
thinking into it.

Right now,
im reading
a spy novel,
not my usual...
but at least im reading.
