DEMON MATH
What is JUST in a world
you've ripped in two
as if there could be
a half for me
a half for you
what is FAIR when
there is nothing
left to share
what is YOURS when
your pain is mine to bear
this sad math is mine
this mad path is mine

don't cry
back to the desk
try
forget addition
multiply
and i reply
this is why
remainders
hate
division.
