Numbers are weird; I'm telling you friend;
they start here at zero and go without end
and if that means one thing, one thing at all,
it's no number is big and all numbers are small.
Take the number of atoms in Yellowstone Park,
exponentiate that every tick of a quark
'til the neutrons decay and the photons go dark
and you've still got no number; it's not big at all;
as I told you before, every number is small,
but invert the numbers and don't flip your wig;
discounting zero, all numbers are big.
Today is fine;
Good, even.
Notice.
The tiniest disturbance.

Why.

I don't like this.

A hole, torn in your existence.
Begin the singularity,
Engulfing.
Tiny Upset,
thought about,
more and more.
Becometh the raging storm.
Longer I stare,
Surround my consciousness.

Now,
everything is black.

I can't see.
I can't breathe.
My heart hurts.

We are.
Reflections of the wrong.
Exponentiate the entropy of thought.

Today is fine.
Not really.
This.
is.
Anxiety.

Thank you math for giving me reason,
You allow me to differentiate,
Reality and imaginary,
To let me ignore every malfeason,
Allow me to explore and find my base,
Truly ascend and exponentiate.

Everything’s on the test and it’s a race,
If I am in the denominator,
I rationalize when necessary,
Or I divide up my many problems,
Never rely on a calculator,
To solve for the unknown variable.

Calculus taught me to not think so hard,
Because my dilemmas can be fractals,
I must invariably disregard,
And someday, my speedy trajectory,
Will lead me to a rising asymptote,
I just have to hope, and stay positive.

— The End —
