"
.
.
.
"I'm going."
.
.
I say, almost as if 
.
To the celling.
.
.
"I'm not going to stay."
.
.
The pauses that intersperse those words - 
.
That hinge with pointed angularity, and cut 
.
Alongside the punctual, and precise,
.
Death defying contingencies, to which
.
Those syllables are inextricably linked - 
.
Echo adjacent to the latent gravity
.
That anchors itself to their meaning.
.
.
And as you watch me go, 
.
Beyond the precipice 
.
Of the motel's room 
.
And its sliding glass door,
.
And into the Schrodinger's cat-expanse 
.
And Pavlovian allure, of elsewhere,
.
.
You don't waste the time
.
Trying to ascertain
.
Where it is I intend to go - 
.
.
You just reconcile that I'm gone
.
And that you ought not pay the mind
.
Of your unsaid queries,
.
Knowing, that there won't be anybody there 
.
To ask after them, thereon, and anymore.
.
.
.

As a woman, I can see how this would feel on the other foot. I have not had any one nighters, so I cannot speak from experience. BUT, I can feel this emotion clearly - from both perspectives as this was penned so descriptively.

Understood Ook. I did thoroughly enjoy this read, exercise or not, thank you for sharing.
God, I hate racy titles. Pavlov and Schrodinger aside, Ook, it sounds as though you just got walking papers. Even worse, you were advised not to let the door encounter your south end. Write it off to experience, my man. She ain't Eve.
