My Imaginary Friend
Diane Scrofano
Most people mistakenly believe
that "playing pretend"
is something that humans stop doing
at about age seven.
No—
I have an imaginary friend.
Not the kind I had
when I was five;
for then,
the body was imaginary,
but the friendship was real.
Now,
the body is real,
but the friendship
imaginary.
