#difficult divisions

"I have grown up liking the evens; there is something about a number that is divisible by two. One for me, one for my friend. One for the boy, one for the girl. One for you and one for me. But somehow there are more odds then there are evens, more of things you can't divide cleanly. No matter what you try there is always this one number that gets ripped into two, a surface destroyed, shards of broken limbs reaching out for the separated twin. And you learn to like it. You invent your own scales, you invent your own values and equations that make your halves whole. You learn to like your odds as much as you like your evens because there is also something about a number that isn't divisible by two."
