It's Nothing Personal

You say it's nothing personal
this neglect you throw my way
but surely you can see it is political
to fire me from power within your sentient life 
this
or any other
day?

And, if political then economic
as we have no investments or divestments
without some self and/or other enlightened intention
of co-relational transaction
or diminishment from what had been
mutually empowering relationship.

No longer hope of these enriching transfers
of self with other power
that have meant so much to me,
for me,
of me.
Yet, yes I can see,
you need to protect yourself
with this belief
that somehow neglect of therapeutic process
is nothing personal,
just political and economic.

Thanks so much for this reminder
our sacred relationship
was merely your secular commodity.
