What would you do
with a ghost in your room
who never came out
when you asked him to?
Would you coax him
and call him
and ask him to leave,
while he sits in the corner
heckling your pleas?
Would you light up some incense
to scare him away?
Would you call out his nonsense
on another day?
I think he would like that
a little too much.
Considering he’s see-through,
he might want to touch.
Just give him an opening–
give him a sign–
and I’m sure that everything
will be just fine.
Then again, I’m not the one
with a ghost in my room.
Don’t turn around now:
He’s watching you.
