If Peace was a Fraction

If peace was a fraction.

It would be an ever decreasing numerator and a solid denominator. 

Peeling back into negative infinity.

Through this construct we call time.

It would scream “less is more” at the top of it’s mathematical lungs.

And suspend itself hovering in the spacious everything of nothing.

If fear were a number.

It would be 9.9999999999999999999999

A never ending repetition of the same

Self chasing tail

In a ludicrous dance of cycling.

And if love were a square root

It would be the square root of 1

The only square root that continues to refer back to itself

Again and again and again.
