if i take half of you
and half of me
will we be one
like frankenstein’s monster
but diminished?
if i draw you
and then quarter you
and then take four quarters
and put you back together
can you fit in
my whole?
if you divide your attention
but then we multiply
will our children
be a fraction
of us?
if you spend half your time
with me
and the other half
baking
can we
reinvent pi?

Your poem sounds like the poems of Erich Fried. One of my favourites. Great post!
Thanks, Bee! I’ll have to look him up. 🙂
I’m not sure many of his poems are translated. He’s Austrian and emigrated before the war to the UK. He translated Shakespeare and was pretty anti-Vietnam war. An eccentric I believe. 🙂
Interesting. Thanks for that info. I’m even more intrigued now.
