Inverse Functions

You know what makes
No sense to me?
Inverse functions.
It basically goes like this:

First, you get an equation
Saying y=somethingx
Then you go through
A LOT OF HELL
To make x the subject.
What happens after that?

X and Y interchange.

Why would we want
To do that?
After going through
SO MUCH TROUBLE
Making x the subject?

Let x have the limelight!

I bet, x just feels
Like a puppet.
Maybe the world was
Just sick of looking at y.
And it needed a twisted way
Of making us realize
That without y,
The world is nothing.

But why use x for its sick games?
Poor x...

Please find X....oh there it is over there. You seem to be writing about a power struggle between the sexes and the stages of a relationship that might occur. There has to be a balance between x & y, which has shifted a lot in recent times and speaking as an X, probably for the good. Sometimes its good being an X and sometimes not, this is a very thought provoking piece, but to think of us all just as X and Ys is a bit impersonal.

Hm,

I am all for the metaphor's in this. The way you talk of Math, as though it was a gender-chromosome, "x" being male, and "y" being female? O.o
Also, I love the way you take the reader, showing us what hell we have to go though to find our true love. Then what even more hell we go though after they become our "ex".

I give this poem 100/100. Fantastic...

Now that is an interesting take on Algebra... math was my best subject in school but you know that those kinds of math problems never helped me in the real world. Very humorous but thought provoking piece.

A very interesting use of the letters. I like the way you gave life to the letters. I like the flow and the twist of the language. A very nice ending to a excellent poem.
