Your Theoretical Friend

What would you do with a theoretical friend?

One that was there, but not

At the same time?

Would you stay up late telling stories

That illicit no reaction?

Would you ask rhetorical questions?

Would you both go on a quest for

The rubies of Sigan?

Would you try to slay the Great Dragon?

Would you build a ship out of an

Old picnic table?

And run home when you got a

Splinter and ask your mother for help?

She wouldn't nurse your theoretical friend,

She claimed that he wasn't there.

You said that he understood you.

You said he never called you names.

He wasn't like the other kids.

Of course, he was purely theoretical.
