the last pose

years ago, i hired willi ninja as a receptionist at the office. it seemed like a good idea at the time; we’re friends, he needed the extra coins and knew pretty much all the players in the business.

a week later, i realized it was a really bad idea. it was pretty clear that willi was not cut out for the 9-5, even something as benign as an indie label gig. the disorganization, the tardiness, and the attitude; he couldn’t be what i needed him to be.

i was pissed at him. i thought he was just not trying. “you guys front that businessman shit pretty well at the balls,” i remember bitching. it was much later that i realized the obvious: who’s ever heard of a punctual diva?

i have seen willi dance to all of these songs at some point: chilling with don ray’s loft classic at his mama’s; working aphrohead’s proto-tribal thump at louie vega’s sound factory bar parties; and deep grooving to elements of life at a dance performance he choreographed.

bye willi, you’ll be missed.
