And I didn’t know it.
 
 Because he never told me.
 
 Friday, September 10, 1:30 a.m., the loft
 
 HOW AM I GOING TO LIVE WITHOUT HIM?????
 
 Friday, September 10, 2:15 a.m., the loft
 
 I have to be strong. I HAVE to. He LIED to me. He said maybe it was a good idea for us to TAKE A BREAK.
 
 I can’t just let him get away with that.
 
 Maybe writing some poetry
 
 will help.
 
 You thought I gave you up for some
 
 Foolish feminist morals.
 
 You whose head ought to be wreathed
 
 In silver-plated laurels?
 
 For were you not a man?
 
 Was your sex not the best?
 
 Had you not a suit and tie,
 
 Big feet and hairy chest?
 
 Yet you opened up the cage
 
 For my headstrong reckless flight
 
 You thought I’d learn my lesson quick
 
 And return to you contrite.
 
 My freedom found, however,
 
 I disappeared from view.
 
 Maybe I’d catch no one nicer
 
 But anyone’s better than you.
 
 Oh, our love affair was tragic!
 
 I wept with passionate strife.
 
 Till you let me go, and I found out
 
 I prefer the single life.
 
 God, I wish that were all true.
