How does it feel -
this life equation balanced thing you hold in your hand
where this adds up to This
and we are all so much easier to control
and he wanted to be a poet but his father
gave him a maclemore CD so
now he's a rapper
And to her the sunrise was an immemorial ritual
that she danced to every day
but you turned it all even anyway
in an equilibrium
of balance and an equals sign
And at school you always detested algebra.
