Yesterday I finished my imaginary novel
took me three years to write,
three years of immaculate invisible toil
three years of faux sweat and tears
hardest thing I've ever done
I dedicated it to my imaginary friends
and I hope that it finds the transparent hands
of millions of imaginary readers
the invisible man is slated to pen the review,
I imagined we discussed it through the aether
my imaginary wife pretends to be patient
pretends to love me
pretends to tell me I don't know how to dream
but I wrote with angry fingers:
I'm awake I'm awake I'm awake
only those awake and alive write novels
and in their dreams they fake their deaths
