the physics of life

is not a universal theory~

it is not relative to love.

there is a hidden mathematics

to affairs of the heart,

a metaphysical geometry

that cannot be proved

in the three-dimensional world.

when it comes to love,

there is no

“one plus one”

there is no

“one plus one plus one”

there is no

“two minus one”

there is no

“two plus one minus one”…

love is not simple math.

if it were,

we would each marry

our fourth-grade sweethearts

forever.

the hidden factors of love,

the secret geometry

for which there is no class,

remain the final mystery

of the universe

beyond the song and dance

of the stars

beyond the song and dance

of the atoms of ourselves~

these are flashes of light

in darkness

and easier to see

than a soulmate.

i have been a poor student

in this subject

or a great failure

depending on the perspective.

i can almost see

the invisible factors of love

but the blind students

still get better grades.
