[ 062505 ] I am complete

by Ava Blu



I date everything,
even just a word
I use the calendar to remember;
I want that compass for my life
I never was good with direction(s)

I dream in numbers
refreshing the past

[ 112698 ] saw the worst movie
with the best guy

[ 061190 ] I became an adult

[ 050604 ] the price of love was 9 hours

[ 031601 ] I killed

see, I’ve always been good with math

if I take the day we met,
add it to the month of May, then
divide by tomorrow;

I end up subtracting you.

Interesting idea. I hope you didn't kill anything human.

at least you've the advantage of writing in american format! these would be like 250605, 261198, and 110690 for me. now that doesn't even seem math to me; it more looks like i am on the assembly line and this number was tagged to me, scruffed onto my neck! and i moved on, hating but living with the number!
brilliant write again.
