I talk to him
when days are slow
and I’m bored
out of my skin.
He answers back
one sad hello.
But sometimes
he makes me laugh
and makes me think
I’m in love with life.
So I tell him
how my day went
and how I hate it
when I’m stuck here
in this world
they call earth.
He asks me
if I want to escape
and break free.
So I reply,
“I’m tempted to
but where should I go?”
He gives me a smile
and says goodbye.
