The nineteen ways I’ve read
I have read
speedily like a bright young fool,
crabbily like a teacher,
querulously like a scholar,
wistfully like a traveller,
and punctiliously like a lawyer.
I have read
selectively like a politician,
comparatively like a critic,
contemptuously like a tyrant,
glancingly like a journalist,
competitively like an author,
laboriously
