It's what they call
an elegant (read: deceptively
simple) equation:
a loss
over time
equals
a sort of distributed ratio
known as losing;
e.g. a knot
becoming such
and such a size—
and me
still waiting
around independently
for its loosening.
I just want to tell you
how much I've
enjoyed your company,
but even that
I can't seem to
do yet.
Which at
least makes
more intuitive sense:
can't divide two
prior things
and expect
to get something completely
new, now
can you?
