losing

What is the figure for losing

Do we succumb to a zero?

Or do we dwindle down to a negative?

What is the equilibrium?

Somehow my head says the equilibrium is the positive

The abundance of personal relations is the state of utmost satisfaction.

But the other part of my head says a zero is always the equilibrium.

The answer to my questions

The wisdom for all missed attempts and silly mistakes-

A zero

The invention not just for the realm of mathematics

But a zero-

The invention of a thought of nothing.

When you have zero apples

You have nothing.

Or zero bananas.

But when you have zero humans,

Somehow you slip down

You walk on ice

That breaks

Every step of the way.

Although, mathematically,

Mathematically zero equals zero but

Somehow my zeroes are oscillating

When you lose something,

I ask you today,

How much of you do you lose

A zero? A body part worth? A percentage?

What’s your measure?

Because somehow the value of loss never approaches zero at all when its about losing you.
