Minus one
In the mathematics of conception, two becomes one.
Subtraction brings vanishing and extermination,
Division multiplies yet diminishes into half.
Minus one, I am less than one, a negative number impossible to count.
In the language of conception plural becomes singular -
Wholeness becomes halfness and yet still one alone -
Plus and minus counteract and I must vanish into zero.
Minus one, I may be less than one, but I am more than zero!
Must I add another whole to make me one?
Must I divide and become two, to never be alone?
Impossible sums clash into negativity….
Plus one, I could be whole again!
Plus one, I could be restored to half a pair!
But minus one is what I must be now
Forever - into infinity.
