Aixa Mae

Mae Camera

For Aixa May,

It might as well be Halloween everyday.

That's why this afternoon,

I turned to the mirror to say,

"I gotta dress her way.

What would May wear?

And tonight, how many muggles can I scare?"

She's a wild one, 

But even "wild" doesn't explain,

Because it doesn't seem like she was born on this plain.

A space goddess, a walking dreamscape, a picture in a magazine,

Sometimes you have to pinch her to believe what you're seeing.

And when you realize she's real,

Your mind starts to fly,

Because you're so happy self expression hasn't died.

And not only is her expression alive,

But it expresses a self that doesn't abide

By norms that so many of us accept as our truth.

She's outside the box. Actually she's up on the roof,

Calling out for her spaceship to take her to Mars.

She'll bring her mother, so she too can see the stars.

I think her mama must've done something right,

Because they look so tight, plus May's a delight.

You'll want her at your party if she's around.

She's beautiful, fun and always pretty loud. 

You should meet her before she returns to the sky,

Maybe if we're lucky, she'll teach us how to fly.
