The Logistics of Love

I sat in deafening quiet,
Numbers and symbols bouncing through my brain.
I never found math to be entertaining.
That's when Peter showed up.

Peter the plus sign was just an average guy
With a mean crush on Mully the multiplication sign.
He had never quite added up to anything in comparison.
Their relationship can be summed up with a lot of awkward times.




Peter was reduced to marrying Sally the subtraction sign.
Their combination made an odd couple.
Positives and negatives don't always go together though,
They divorced and divided the properties up evenly.

Peter then reflected upon Dani the division sign.
She knew his name so that was a plus.
Dani was just as two dimensional however.
Peter decided it was best to take her out of the equation.

Peter felt as though he was on a decline.
He had never factored in all the difficulties of life.
He pictured a point in his life where he was happy.
He envisioned a bubbling fountain with a beautiful number upon it.

This girl turned out to only be imaginary.
Peter figured life would even out.
He decided that women equal sadness.
They just cause too many problems.
