math – One Woman's Quest

Equation of Self

Disclosure:
While I strive
for wholeness
I am given
to negative

Thoughts –
while fractional
nonetheless
count individually –

Add it all up
and I am
at times
zero

An integer
swaying backwards
and forwards
begging patience.

(Image mine)

One (me) plus one (you)
equals two (a couple)

So why is it that division
makes me feel less than whole

And subtraction (we minus you)
renders me an integer

And how, in this state of sub zero
do I solve for y?
