For her
“You deviate (I think she meant deviant),
all day long you saturate yourself with novels
while real life is playing. You ain’t no Anna
Karenina about be swept away by Vronsky.
Here, identify yourself with this broom
and sweep the court, dear daughter!”
– James Steerforth ( © 2010 )
Written around deviate, saturate and identify from 3WW and also very much à propos for Vicarious at One Single Impression.

brought back from daydreams and the world of novels to the banal chores of life! I would go back to the book as soon as possible!
There’s life, and there’s the life we dream about when we read. Nice.
You make me want to read it again!

oh man reality can sweep one away….
there it is, realism, I suppose it’s easier to get lost in a fake world than the real one
Lost in reading… the story of much of my youth.
Lost in writing… the story of much of my present.
The real world sometimes lacks the very things we need! Nice piece!
