Did whomever said it first
immediately regret it?

Were they trying to mitigate perfect and infinity
and fail?

Did they forget to look up
at the majesty of sky
while walking home
lost in the menial details
of the day?

Did they miss temptation
and get a tattoo they regret
of a parabola never meeting its axis?

Did they fall for a spurned lover wanting reason
they both know does not exist?

Did they try and strike it from the record
and find the world full of its addicts?

Did they still
hope?
