Between the lines

My bed, soft fabrics
Kept promises
Fits two, fits me just fine
Past 1 A.M.
Early still
Body operates in another time zone
Mind excels past midnight
In hand, ebook reader
Shiny new, best in class
Fourth of its kind
Ancestors gave up
On random pages, they died
Or refused to wake up
Proudly wears its magnetic cover
Official, expensive, green
Compliments my skin tone
Open a book, read a line
Read a page, get the gist
Stop
Eyes begin to complain
Hands rush to help
Font settings
Family tree
Serif or sans?
Bold or thin?
15 minutes, unsatisfied
Tomorrow, perhaps, in bed
I know what happens next
