Numbers
                 That you add
               Or you subtract,
             Divide or multiply,
                   comes out....

Where did the dogness(soul) go?
Nowhere subtract one dog
Memories remain
Bad dreams whimpering
Restless sleep~"Rocky, wake up."
Asleep rest in peace...

Subtract Fact and No Longer Intact

What should happen when we subtract,
From what was total at least one fact,
Did disappear;
No longer here;
We would now no longer remain intact.

Centennial masterpiece,
numbers subtract

The prize in the wandering,
 years drifting back

Memory indentured,
the sour and sweet

Pointing me inward
—a timeless retreat

her rainbow is
an upside down
smile so let's
subtract 69 and
try to add up what
might be happening
but let's not ever
forget the chaos
factor though it may
just be a fraction off
but who ever heard
of a smiling
68...

Add rain and roads and Mothers' Day
And multiply by stress.
Subtract the patience you have left
And marvel at the mess.

Then inch along and make a vow
That next year you will stay
At home and do a Face-Time call
To celebrate the day....

i'm two years
too old

maybe a few
more but

i wasn't
told

so i find
myself

dancing
a waltz

but she's
jiggling

salsa in front
of me

though i'm aware
the timing isn't

clear but clearly
i'm out of step

with the

The added bliss
Of a double kiss
I multiply by four.

But should thou hate
This kiss-of-eight
Subtract me twenty more.

Divide by two
The dozen, true,
Then mirror thrice the six,

Upon my head
"...The Beast" be read
And faken you befix....

such atrocities
subtract us humans
irrespective of
but then comes along,
common sense approach

decisions made
find him alive,
send this boy home
mothers grieving

combat found
bridged safely
firmly held

Ryan
freedom

saved

who we are is who we were
multiply and then defer
all the things that you just said
divide by visions in your head

   subtract the world 
of might have been
now give yourself a dividend
for the dreams that 
did come true
the synergy,
   the sum of you...

Sail soil sad bad

                 blunderbuss driving round a toy circuit
                in a bassement of broken dreams and nightmares
        square man dancing round a plate of purpleshoes

Who fills the hour glass
Are there sand bags everywhere
Does a machine do it
Why do I even care

One granule, two granules
Three granules, four
How do you know to subtract
Or add more

What a sad occupation
You watching time pass
Clocking the second
Of sand in the glass...

add
subtract
multiply;
even divide,
fuzzy math always remains fuzzy math.
two plus two will never add up to five;
answer is four,
will always
remain
four

(from The John Poems)

              I wish
        I hadn't told you
        what I told you
        when I thought
           I loved you.

             And if  
        I could retract it,
         subtract it, and
            abstract it
              I would....

Numbers Have Nothing

One, two, three, four, five
Add them together you have
Numbers one through five

Numbers add up too
Fifth-teen minus ten is five
Subtract the sum of

Numbers you then have
Nothing cause five minus
Five equals zero

What you want is divine
No one can take it away
No one can subtract
No one can add to
What you want is perfect
One can’t begin to imagine
Or rationalize
What you want is defectless
One can’t intellectualize
Think through or reason out
What you want is exemplary, beyond all praise...

Revenge almost seems worth it 
Although, holding onto the past has repercussions
Embrace joy and discard envy
The world has enough negativity
Do not add to the mathematical equation
Subtract anger from your subconscious 
Life only gets easier from here
The heart will thank you immensely...

May I show you numbers

Math numbers to add now

Many to subtract from

My coins make me dollars

Mom help me with homework

Minds great and small count twice

Monday no homework yeah

Marriage is a lot like simple math:
it starts with two, then multiplies;
if you calculate adding a divorce
you’ll need to subtract or divide, of course.
The end result of your initial action
may be a fragment of a fraction.
Warning: Before you propagate,
learn first to cogitate then calculate....

To add to the joy of another
Means it is well with your soul to share

To subtract from one's fears
Is to lay transparent their inner strength

To multiply blessings
Means we're honest, humorous students and teachers

To divide any burden
Is to dissolve the foe, and awaken the friend in us.

add or subtract
from senses five
or rotate gender

putting it mildly
we'll be perturbed

force of gravity
should it be fickle
or sunlight dims

putting it mildly
we'll be perturbed

enslaved by desire 
in grooves of habit
stance stuporous

why then aren't we
perturbed

The clock is rapidly ticking, ready to subtract
another year; is it a possible threat?
Once a traveler told me I could buy time,
but it would cost me more than a gold mine...
and he swore by the thick blood in his powerful wrist!
