How to win
(imaginary)
friends
(back)
and influence people
(made of fiction)
–first, write
a note of apology
. . .
— love letters lamenting & lining up alliteratively
like a
“to do” list, but a “to do” list with character!
(s)
avowals!
maybe even a diphthong or 2, enabling the creation
of prototypes every novel needs, if no perfume before
checking boxes.

& sending expansive flowered
(thoughts)
— purpled prosies,
gilded girdeds, and
rose of sharron–
their way
–somewhere off synapse route #66
(where else!)
followed by changing weighs.
Personal weighs.
Permuting poetic measures of an intrinsically different caliber
that can be hard to discern without rule initially, so skip the acronym–
next honey.
not saccharine, not sugar,
and most decidedly not stevia,

ensuring the pretend pals are themselves agreeable
to palette, pen, and projection
and making up for better company, instead of just desserts
–finally presence.
undivided presence of mime, and why not?
imaginary friends are
the
target audience
for the ole
“fake it til you make it” axiom,
tying in coincidentally with checking boxes but
what else?
well, presence.
–of mind, this time
that necessarily implies
presence
of mine
–which in fact AND fantasy–
are.
those same imaginary friends
–gone missing.
