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
