Dear Diary

Dear Diary

You don't exist, of course,
so I can speak as I like.
I must admit I rather like that, 
since no one cares,
and I have some freedom here.

The aim is not to offend anyone
of course; I'm not a sadist.
But neither do I mind
seeing one cross his arms
and listen grudgingly.
I'm stubborn enough to plunge on.
Sure, respond when you like.
I love dialogue.

So there you have it;
a celebration of something
that isn't there.
Then I think of it appearing
--or disappearing.
And either way,
like death.
