Measurements

Do you have the capacity to
Quantify affection?
Do you understand how short-lived and
Short term that is?
If you could quantify hatred,
Wouldn’t that just give more of the
Same feeling?
You have the ability to laugh,
To measure defeat in a friend,
To make me want to
Take life as one big joke;
You can make me the focus of a long, long performance

I’d love to one day be dissected,
To be quantified and weighed and numbered
Make me the animal that
No one cares about, just
Gets opened up and eaten.
Quantify me,
Make me a glorious prism of data
Make my rambling, trembling
Wants, thoughts, and desires
Valid
