  1. "My dictionary lists fourteen entries
    for the verb quit, enough for a sonnet
    on unrequited love. Most are rare, e.g.,
    “to use one’s hands effectively” or “to let
    go (something held).” Whatever else they meant
    (to put in quiet, set free, absolve), quit,
    quite & requite
    all carried this sentiment:
    To pay back, to return the favor. Smit-
    ten, I would strike you back, if I
    could. Each night in my bed we fuck & fuck.
    It doesn’t make you mine, or make it right.
    But I won’t quit. I open my hands & shut
    my mouth, my stuttered houses. I’m in your debt
    and can’t get out. At least, not yet. Not quite."
