The Space and Time separating Us

The prime us, 2 in Eros

The prime us, 5 in Agape

 

The numbers, they bind while

the Spaces separate

 

Time separates us, but in truth

space expands and does the same

 

they are one and the same

in our rapidly flipping face

mimicking an expanding network

 

Marriage separates us

Our child separates us

Redundancy of relationship separates

Reduced

Redacted

 

Here is my open letter

Here are all my full features

Here is our single slot

to interlace our family

to mend a torn fabric

to bind us in sympathy

 

In our curved Spacetime

 

I ask/ed/ing/will ask you

Why didn't you tell me you've

about

<insert block of emotions and references: books, films, lovers>

maybe because you've never asked

 

Because in the asking you make us equal

or at least fool us into believing ourselves

 

Because in asking we seek each other

at least to be friends

or fodder for fighting

 

Because in asking we become lovers

or fooled, hoodwinked, cuckold

by a brood parasitism

 

Because in asking, we care

Because in asking, we support

Because in asking, we protect

or we mesmerize like vampires

sücking the life force from us

our friendship to sustain an uncaring

unsupporting, unprotecting, and

unsupervised network learning
