like he’s on the mike,
rapping.
His flow is sick.
He pops his shoulders.
Bobs his head.
All while reading.
You listen.
You laugh.
You follow along.
Didn’t think
you were gonna
like this
book.
Two hours later,
when The Mac lands
on the final page,
the doctors and nurses
who’ve lingered
and listened, and who
crowd your room,
give The Mac
a standing ovation.
