A Letter to My Imaginary Friend
—Sequelæ—
A Star for an Imaginary Friend
“I think the Gods
would then surely look
from the Heavens upon you
and confess the divinity of your Soul,
declaring your Spirit
more beautiful than she of Troy,
for whom not a mere Agamemnon
would they command to launch a thousand ships,
but, for you, My Friend,
would they summon hither
a distant star...”
Like an Imaginary Friend, this star is invisible to the naked eye, though it travels overhead throughout the night every year on and about the 2nd of May.
It is located in the northern constellation of Bootes.
