i want you to know
this waz an experiment
to see how selfish i cd be
if i wd really carry on to snare a possible lover
if i was capable of debasin myself for the love of another
if i cd stand not being wanted
when i wanted to be wanted
& i cannot
so
with no further assistance and no guidance from you
i am endin this affair
this note is attached to a plant
i’ve been waterin’ since the day i met you
you may water it
yr damn self
-ntozake shange-
