Notes About The Poem
Contest: 39 Minutes

39 Countdown
39 minutes to draw a line
For asymmetrical life of mine.
Against logic and common sense laws
My life’s odds graphed empirical flaws.
It spread out in many shapes and slopes,
Varied ‘twixt melancholy and hopes.
Yet the ratio of joy trumps the rest
In the course of life’s composite test.
I count on that for the greatest good
My path for the greatest number stood.
My constant values were absolute,
So were the angles, right or acute.
I figured life’s factors more or less,
In patterns, congruent with success.
Formula for Happy - highest stake,
Played in proportions of give and take.
Around Love my destiny revolved,
The algorithm of my life - solved!
I bid adieu, sentiments apart,
My palate’s last wish from a la carte:
Steak dinner with a glass of fine wine
In finite timeline of 39!
