Selected retrospective journal entries about my first imaginary boyfriend, age 10. (dates approx.)
March 21 — 
     today you were a deer & led me
to your home deep in the forest, hoof in hand


March 27 — 
     we raced everyone in your new car, & won.
it looks like a normal car but is secretly much better


March 30 — 
     learned about blood types. we have the same
one! we could save each other, if anything happened


April 3 — 
     in class, you cast a spell & time
stopped. we went around, looking at the frozen faces


April 7 — 
     your dog has befriended my dog!
(can we start to call them ‘our dogs’, or is it too soon)


April 9 — 
     as the sun rose on our balcony
we drank molten gold to mock our newfound wealth
