Apparently, the poet requires invention of a new word. Shall we say, then, that she is "faurthest" from you?
Professor Jacob is expert at bitter amusement.
Another excellent piece!

As one who can be somewhat long-winded, I very much admire those who can use the minimum amount of words to say the most. This is genius. Take a bow...

Spot-on, concise, protractor-degree of relationship distance measurement in poetic form. "And you are the 'nth degree of distance from me"-Geometrically perfect!
