SHE:  Are you still 

                    upset

         with me?

 

 ME:  Not

                    upset.  Just

                                 tired

      of being

               unhappy.

      You are

      a piece of grit

      that will

                never

      become a pearl

      in the oyster

      of my

            life.  So

      you have been

                    spit

      out.

                  Ptooey.



SHE:  Understandable.  Just

                            thought

      things would

                   go

                      differently.

      Like

                      we'd be

      awkward friends

                      or something.



 ME:  No.  No more

                   waiting,

           wishing,

                    hoping,

           disappoint

                      ment,

           confusion,

                in

                  adequacy,

               anger,

           jealousy,

                   longing,

           disillusion

                      ment.

       Nothing.



SHE:  Yeah.

             I got that.  Oh

                             well.

      I'm leaving in Jan

      uary any

              how.

 

ME:  I don't care.

                        

                        I am

                             free.
