math (4)

i always consider you in my math
you and everyone else makes two
there's the you and the not-yous
the shadow players
the ones in the back mouthing "watermelon cantaloupe" 
so the cameras think they are real people with real thoughts
i have practiced enough to believe impossible things

there are two women in the whole world
and i chose the only one

Cherry picking ideas today.  Love Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass.  In it there's a line when Alice is talking to the (White?) Queen and the queens says, "Why, sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."  Believing impossible things just takes practice it seems.  The other inspirational idea comes from the movie Big Fish.  Jenny is talking to Will about his dad and says, "See, to him, there's only two women: your mother and everyone else..." 

Pulling out the big guns today.  Tomorrow is (probably) 600.  Peace out.
