Theory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always believed vertigo
was a place and not a state of falling
so when you came in the slip, sliding way
to my bed. I was not afraid
though I suppose fear enters.
Isn’t sanity half the quotation for love?
E=mc squared and what follows is light or chaos.
I want to name you vertigo, angle, something solid
like square. Feeling is abstract, yet when you enter
emptiness are you there? And did not Plato
speak of shadows, is it crazy to believe
what you read with your tongue on the inside
of my cave is word. Y=X if the X is constant
yet Y will never equal the sum A.
It is not part of the equation.
