I

This is Frithjof.

He does not know if he is a boy.

Or a beast.

Or some thing else.

Is he dangerous?

If only to himself.

You think

you do not

know him.

He thinks

he knows

you.

He might have

known you

for a while.

And well.

You think

you do not

see him.

(Except here.)

He thinks

he sees

you.

(A lot.)

Is he invisible?

Not quite.

He just dislikes

to be seen.

At least, directly.

Hiding among

your things.

Lurking behind

your back.

Locked up

in your head.

Maybe he is

not really here.

Or there.

Or elsewhere.

Does it matter?

Maybe

he thinks

the same

about you.

Maybe

he is not

wrong.
