Can anyone tell me where I can find this poem, in which book of Shange's it is published?

What do you believe a poem shd do?
quite simply a
poem shd fill you
up with something/
ed make you swoon,
stop in yr tracks
change yr mind,
a poem shd happen
to you like cold
water or a kiss.

Jaqui:

Does it have a title, or is it untitled? Do you have any more info on it--where did you see it or hear it, how old is it, etc?
