Are you an animal
or are you a friend
Are you some kind of beginning
or are you an end
Are you a hollywood
or are you a home
Are you my greatest invention
designed to cause
tension
resolving when I give you my best;
I’ve never felt such confusion or been so impressed
since algebra
Are you an ex (x)
who never gave me a why (y)
Are you a lingering demon
or are you the sky
Are you an avalanche
or are you a shell…
I thought I heard a wave crash
I’m waiting for your splash
I’m standing dry, I’m standing undressed;
I’ve never felt such confusion
or been so impressed
since algebra
If I reduced life to equations
I’d probably win the Nobel prize and then
a couple of days would pass
and I would get unborn
soften in the sheets
haunting something more
Would you be the cipher I’m standing on top?
I’ve never felt such confusion
or been such a slob
since algebra
