Willie Mae through Time

Every time I go to my therapist, I grieve what I am going to lose

I am losing a great part of my soul

It’s like my dental hygienist digging out tooth decay

It is delicate work

Removing only the decay

Leaving only what is viable and healthy

It takes an expert

This is not work for the heavy handed

This is not work for the destroyer

This is not work for the greedy

This is work for an artist

Someone with an exacting eye

Someone with an artist’s soul

Someone who leaves no detail unexamined

Someone who is a creator

Willie Mae is such an artist

Willie Mae has been a survivalist

Willie Mae has been a criminologist

Willie Mae has been a street pharmacist

Willie Mas has been a pimp and a “prostitutionist”

Willie Mae has been a hearder

Willie Mae has been hearded

Willie Mae has been hated

Willie Mae has been feared

Willie Mae has been used

Willie Mae has been a user

Willie Mae has been powerful

Willie Mae has been powerless

Willie Mae has been a witch

Willie Mae has been a warlock

Willie Mae has been a christian

Willie Mae has been an atheist

What is Willie Mae this time?

I don’t know

It’s none of my business

It’s Willie Mae’s business
