Pop poetry

[whambam]

I have written something that I think is more like a pop song than a poem, but then that's where it came from in the first place... But do pop songs work without music? I guess it's a counterbalance: if the melody is divine then the words are lifted up too. But if the lyrics are there in the cold light of day, can you read them like poetry?

Two divided by zero
Says the chorus of the song
The calculator can't handle it
Huffs: the sum is wrong

But when we move together
The maths just works out fine
Indivisible is the answer
To the question on my mind

With nothing in between us
Beyond desire, care, lust
The equals sign produces
The infinity of love

Have you given it to her?
I like the math here.
Do you have music in mind to go with it?

Thanks EroticOrogeny. I wrote it more for the forum, as a memory and a hope...

I don't have a melody in mind, I'm afraid; but it's quite upbeat, if you ask me.
