"we need someone else". My mother keeps reminding me of this theory. a theory which is based on quality by relation of something else..Yet the measured invariant is itself lighter than air. Poetry means that there is no one else on earth and no other thing but the obligation and restrictions of most (if not all) poetic conditions. This poem is more math than logical connection.
But I love it.....dana
Hmmm....a lot going on in this one, Jacob. When there are variables, often it is time to move on. Things that brought X and Y together can change...and actually pull them apart. Lydi**

X has always indicated kisses to this thick fella and the Y, well that was usually followed by not when declined the chance. Hi Jacob, hope all is well in the good ol' U S of "is he really still in charge"
even people are bounded to stay together for self interest nowadays..and thank god these are variables..at least when find that they can no longer serve for the equation, get separated and yes sometime left the equation as out of boundary condition..but their action can be forecast-ed not like human being..very intelligent write as always..just few words and you hit the peak..always a pleasure to read your write J..

Relativity -that's a powerful idea isn't it? How did they relate to each other before, what happened to affect the equation, and how do they now? Can go deep as you want with this one or run for the hills at prospect of the math. I am the rebel and always choose deep, this one could go towards the self empowerment route and learn the strength of one... that's always my recommendation. I plan to revisit this one to soul search through other options and feelings it has stirred within. Always a pleasure to visit your pages Jacob.

Fun and enlightening at times, one of the things i love about the cafe :)
The time we move on from our previous relationship along with all the unanswered "whys" can sometimes makes us realize that happiness depends on our own self.

yes, it can do that...thank you for your words, gabrielle...
Since I "checked out" of Math when Satan threw letters in the mix, I do not get this, and will take your word for it that it's true. Having read some of your other work...it most likely is.
