who am I ?

Post by saw » February 3rd, 2015, 1:55 pm

takes two to tango they say
two to shadow box as well
what is it with two ?

one is the loneliest number
or at least that was the cold truth
on a three dog night, many moons gone by

three is company they tell me
like that's a bad deal or something
but isn't company a good thing ?

it was for john ritter

zero is inconceivable
the step daughter of infinity
the absence of numerical superiority

numberless-ness creeps like an invasive species
humans fall in love with imagined lives
with the infinite guarantees of happiness

border-less paradigms of open road

monogamy is a concept, polygamy is even more
quantum mechanics are real,
real as that nose on my face

but maybe my nose is just a mirage
an oasis of mystical fragrance keeping
trapping scents, but letting sense escape

who am I, I ask you
shouldn't I know by now
shouldn't I be able

to blacken the correct square
on the proper form I'm handed
NO, NO...do I fall into that universal category

other
