contemplating life
much too long

and....

figuring...

that if this were math
I would have an F
I thought it better to
put life to the test
try to find the square root
of you + me
then find the difference
of that minus three
add it to the sum of that
plus three
leaving us with
a number with no history

now beginning with 1 and missing x
then dividing that answer by xxx
adding the difference of you without me
then divide that by zero minus -3
sum up the total then
multiply it by eight
figuring out the difference in time
spent looking for heavens gate
you'll see that the
equation isn't all about you
though the problems not solved
I am sure you've had your fun
yet your still
a long way from done
functions graphed
age old  
in infinite space
no time to lie
for saving face
crossing your fingers
that you'll get grace
no need to graph the
function of a linear root
when you know that in real life
a V for victory will get you
two new suits
now realising all too well
that the justifications
make more sense
when breaking one into two...  
then finding what it takes
to make that same half = 3
when the value of B
is greater
than the sum of
what it takes
to make me = me
so if you hear whisperers
yelling secrets to the sun
pay no attention
I'm just trying
to justify 3~2~1

dividing by zero

again and  

and then subtracting one........

Julie, I wished I had paid more attention to math when I was in school, but I was still able to calculate that this poem stands out in its originality -- I especially liked how you "summed" things up with the last three lines! ......jo
