       		   Over your shoulder, please don't mind me if my eyes have
	fallen onto your magazine for I've been watching and wondering why
	your face is changing with every line you read.   All those  lines
	and circles,  to me,  a mystery.  Eve pull down the apple and give
	taste to me.   If she would be wonderful,  but my pride is in  the
	way.  I cannot read to save my life, I'm so ashamed to say.
       		   I  live  in  silence,  afraid to speak  of  my  life  of
	darkness because I cannot read.   For all those lines and circles,
	to me,  a mystery.   Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me.
	If she could it would be wonderful.   Then I wouldn't need someone
	else's eyes to see what's in front of me.  No one guiding me.
       		   It makes me humble to be so green at what every kid  can
	do  when he learns A to Z,  but all those lines and  circles  just
	frighten  me and I fear that I'll be trampled if you  don't  reach
	for  me.   Before I run I'll have to take a fall.   And then  pick
	myself up,  so slowly I'll devour every one of those books in  the
	Tower of Knowledge.
