All the Paperwork is there . .

I have an imaginary friend, you might say, an alter ego. She knows everything about me but sometimes she forgets or gets muddled so I go over things by writing notes to her.

Dear Sister Helen Joseph,

Well, the votes are in. OK, maybe not the votes, but all the paperwork is there. I have applied for the MFA. Let’s not talk about it. I’m very good at waiting. I’ll just do that.

Love, Honey

Dear Sister Helen Joseph,

Yes, I am.

I don’t usually hear back from you so soon. I’m used to waiting, that’s how I got so good at it.

Love, Honey
