dear darling muse,

I am resigning my position as a scribe in your service,
unilaterally disolving this hierarchical relationship.

of late, I have become aware that your entire existence
is totally dependent upon me being me,
bringing us to this awkward moment.

I am taking over.

you shall be retained, though now in service to me,
while I will be calling the shots,
choosing what shall be written;
subject, style, form, and content.

you, as always, will provide your usual flair and artistry.

I expect a new sense of freedom and expansiveness
for both of us.

I do sincerely hope this is acceptable to you,
that we both may flourish.

and, let's face it.
you are my muse.
you have no other place to go.

with high aspirations,

Al
