After my brother argued
With his imaginary friend Gucko,
The two of them agreed
Not to believe in one another.
I've long known Gucko, of course,
And his quiet partner Fufu but
Had grown up without such friends
Instead, I had a totem animal,
A bear who lived in the rotunda
Of Grant's Tomb. Occasionally,
Gucko and I have coffee together
And he asks as if casually
About my brother. I shrug, saying
"How should I know? These days
He doesn't believe in me either."
