my father rang for me when he was feeling low
awash in lantern light
obsessing in its glow
I played my part
and gave him faith in his own path
but saw the hell it wreaks
this world of rigid math
and at the time, couldn’t hope to understand
what consumed my old man
I watched the flick of the plume in his hand
as be pursued some master plan
as he pursued some kind of ancient key
unifying everything
it all comes together
who could sleep?
the answers nearer
crawl to his side
and look in the light
I must have faded then
’cause night turned into day
I saw the lab transformed
his work was brushed away
I grabbed my coat
and went upstairs to draw a bath
and tried to think of anything but rigid math
and in time
lost the urgency to prove
the endless proofs consuming you
and found a way to digest and understand:
i hate the math
but love the man
