Louise - Fictional

Please recall Louise is fictional.

She cannot walk in the park with a dog,

or do somersaults.

She won't be found at Bartholomew Library
reciting poetry.


She is and always will be fictional,
so cannot be so viewed.


Again, I stress she's fictional, completely, completely, for all time,


for already you imagine her with dog
that won't stop barking,

admire her cleverness in Bartholomew's gymnastic class,

or hear her quiet voice
giving poetry something it hasn't had for years.
