my imaginary friends
my imaginary friends
My wife often laughs at me
thinks I'm a kind but odd person
I regard Sam Smith as a friend
although I have never met him
he is so very kind when he could
have exposed me as a failed
poet who published poetry books
before he mastered the language
When he did, he lost interest
in publishing poetry because
failure or not, the poems were
written with love in my hear
he is unfailingly polite
My other friend, this might be
surprising for some, Elon Musk
he represents what I'm not
a great poet of technical matters
I also sense his loneliness; it's not
easy to be wealthy, to have and not
to have plays on his mind
a good man that is all that matters
Not to forget Joneve, who took in
my poems, warts and all, until she
detected sloppiness and refused
to take in some poems, by doing so
I had to sharpen my game for that
I'm grateful
