70’s Muse

She always had an audience

For her stories

Tales of old men watermelon and sex

She had them captivated

Giggling

Her stories were sweetly naughty

Like stolen candy

Being chewed in a dark closet

She was their muse

The bad girl

They’d probably imagined

They wanted to be

Foxy Brown

Cleopatra Jones

She was right there

In real life

They called her family

I called her mama
