Solipsist

in a flat and endless wood
in a place we’re never been before
along a twisty path

I’m arguing with Christopher
just for the fun of it
that nothing
but me
exists

Barry and Timothy don’t care
Christopher would rather I stop
but this dubious abuse of reasoning
with endless demands for proof
is deliciously entertaining

a rough and tumble dog
endlessly demanding to play
never knowing how to tire
