Invisible Friend
It’s ok to have an invisible friend
Even if he’s your only friend
He exists as long as you
Continue to be someone
Who can be seen
It’s ok to talk to yourself
So long as you don’t shout.
And make like a ventriloquist—
Only the most anally observant
Of us can see your lips moving.
It’s ok to wake up early
Just to commune with alone
But don't mistake the silence
For your oldest friend
Pausing before he tells you
The answer to the question
You’re afraid to ask anyone else
