ANY IMAGINARIA

Prince Rogers,
in one of his greatest works,
spoke of his childhood
and his friendships
and a girl
and the magic she would find
when she opened her lunchbox

She would find coffee, syrup,
butterscotch jam
and
the occasional starfish.

I had no such friend
who opened no such door
into any imaginaria
in my early days.
All I had was you
who sang me the praises
of Prince Rogers
and much much more.

I miss you
and wish
you would show me something new
and that I
would love it
as much as the last.
