Perhaps people laugh

i.
Perhaps people laugh,
standing under broken things.


(Perhaps gravity is an affliction,
someone once told me that a man could
have wings, but
I only saw an equation.)

Maybe, your faith is misplaced?
perhaps God knows,
perhaps God knows.

ii.
Perhaps feeling is a number;
Perhaps the world is made of parallel lines

Perhaps our degrees are just
Tangents of my value over yours
Perhaps our feelings cannot be deduced
Through words but only through numbers;
You're a fraction and I'm the whole,


But to you I'm only a decimal.



iii.


Perhaps people laugh, under
dissociating skies;
Perhaps, through tears,

God laughs along too.

(there was a nebula collision,
but our instruments shorted out. We could only
watch the faint, pulsing light from the dust
as it crept into our depths.


for the first time
there were no viewfinders.)

Perhaps there are angels.
  

iv.

Maybe there is comfort in knowing that
if no axiom exists,
  

then God must exist too.


(The number you have dialed is invalid, Your time has run out
Your time has run out
You time has run--
