They

spoke to me

and told me stories

urged me to do crazy things

like

make parachutes out of sheets

and jump from

the shed roof.

They suggested I should learn

to juggle knives

and study the nature of

fire.

They told me where to look for

ghosts

and demons

and sometimes they

were not lying

although sometimes

they just wanted trouble.

(My father said he had a plan

to destroy

my imaginary friends.

That made them very angry.

But I said

I would never let that happen.)

Mostly

late at night

they spoke to me

of amazing places

that could not possibly

exist.

The voices were always clear

and

sounded like me.

I guess they were really

just me

or parts of me.
