Today I'm Tired of Reading

Any other day,
well most any other day,
I look forward to coming home
and getting into a current book
or magazine
after a frustrating day of work
but today
I don't want anything to do
with any of them.
Just one of those off days
I suppose.
Almost finished with my current
attraction "How The Hippies Saved Physics"
with several others
waiting on the bookshelves
for their face time to explain
themselves to me
as well as ebooks purchased with
Christmas gift cards waiting
patiently on virtual shelves
less arguable for their turn on the soapbox.
But today, I just want to plop
down on the couch and watch a movie.
The holiday season has worn me out
to the point I don't want to engage
at any level.
I think there's still time enough
this evening to buy something
on one of the pay-per-view channels.
