The Imaginary Friend

One boy had an imaginary friend—who stayed with him 'til the end.
Some friend!

One boy had an imaginary friend—who surprised him by ceasing to be so imaginary.
Some surprise!

One boy had an imaginary friend—who began to tell him that he was him.
NOW we 're getting somewhere!

One man had an imaginary friend— who, after telling him that he was him,
then told him that he could learn to separate himself from him.
Hey—things are really getting interesting NOW!

One man 's imaginary self began to slowly feel the silent presence of the real force driving this whole shebang,
and then asked that I not say anything else about him and what he was doing.
