Ceteris Paribus- Edited

Added on a bit...

Level the mountains
and raise the seas
'til nothing but plains remain
no bars between us
except for
us.
would you then love me
for me?

as just me?

all social constraits
undone

materialism made
immaterial

would the collision of
heart and mind
body and soul

that is

me

suffice?

nothing for you to withdraw from

nothing for you to hold on to

but

eyes.that.thirst

and a

heart.that.beats.

slowFASTslowFASTslow

would you then love me

would you love me
if every rectangle was a square
and every triangle isoceles
and every angle obtuse

would you love me
if every star
was the north star
beckoning you
with the same glitter

in lands
with perfect faces
shining places

markets that were perfect
both inside and
on the surface

would you love me
if the only variable
was 'us'

would you then love me
ceteris paribus?

Sadaff said...

if only ceteris paribus was real and not just scientific bull shit.

ignore me, but good words though. love the periods after the words. adds oompf to the mix.

haha..ofourse i knew what u meant, but apparently the sarcasm rolled off u....:)
i quite like the idea of constants and variables actually. and the part u added,, nicely done.
and hav to agree with sadaf, the hesitant tone of the poem is quite...oompf-ful, as she says..
