“Small voice,” I say, “I changed your question a little.”

“You did?” small voice says, “Why?”

” ‘What am I here for?’ seemed too big so

I changed it to ‘What is being asked of me right now?’ ” 

“Sounds good,” says small voice.

“It’s still hard to answer,” I say.

“Yes,” says small voice.

“But…” I say.

“Go on,” says small voice.

“Well, it’s strange but when I ask that question,

I don’t feel invisible anymore,” I say.

“Maybe asking that question is what you’re here for,” says small voice.

“Maybe,” I say.
