Inventing Friends


My son is inventing friends
Who break things
That aren’t broken
Last week
There was the older boy who broke his toy train and
Yesterday
There was a little girl
Who broke the baseboard heater in his room
After she broke it
He took her home in the car
Maybe he feels bad
About the pile of broken things on my workbench and
Is confident that
Even daddy
Can fix broken things that aren’t really broken
Maybe he likes a happy ending
Maybe he just needs to get out more
