Getting the Algorithm

Every love song = a war crime,
Every suicide note < > = to a poem
All comics . /.  = punchline childhoods 
An emergency = 5X people saying “I told you so.’

If I → write a (love song)
it comes from stolen letters
so 0 know I was ≠ me.


But writing =
falling in love

each day.  
     
= explaining my childhood
 < > = to punchlines,

everyone reading awed by 
my humble beginnings
< > expected about = 
to what it is.


But, writing 
≠¬
getting 
my old 
cancer-free
body back.

The ℓ  
flashing

Here is the poem without the math symbols

.

Every love song is a war crime,

Every suicide note is equal to a poem.

All comics have a  punchline childhoods

An emergency is five times the number of people

saying “I told you so.”

If I ever write a (love song),

it will  comes from stolen letters

so no one knows it was me.

—

But writing,

for me

is falling in love

each day.

It is showing my childhood

was a bunch o punchlines,

everyone reading awed by

my humble beginnings

not quite what was expected

but  what it is.

—

But writing

will not—

give me

my old

cancer-free

body back.

—

The lights

flashing

ahead of me

may be

a warning,

but they

are life’s

main attraction

too.

—

At my funeral,

only

the dead

will come

after the living

had died.

—

The dots

between intention

only the grave

can

decide.
