Quantification Is Insulting
Tell me how your face works. Tell me the names of all the Muscles that bend and flex To form your smile.
Tell me how you walk. Is it a dah-dah dah-dah pattern, or Dah-dum. Dah-dum. Or do you glide?
Tell me how you laugh. The lungs and the throat and The mouth shouldn’t work As beautifully as yours.
Tell me how you melt. I already know why But how, my love, Have you come to this?
Tell me how you rage Against the sunrise Demanding back the Comfort of darkness.
Tell me how you dream. Which neurons fire, which Remain static, which draw his face, micron by micron?
Tell me how you live. Is it truly as simple as One breath in, One breath out?
Yes.
