Magic

i stared wide eyed.
big brown wide eyes.
listening.
soaking it in.
every.
single.
word.
when it's over
i beg
just like every night.
for another.
one more.
just one more.
and i win
just like i always do.
just like every night.
so my mommy takes another book from the shelf.
she opens it up and begins her magic.
